Why I Smile

June 18, 2024 eddaz 6 Comments

A smile is a candle burning so bright and comes naturally to me, healing my soul. I extend it to others because it promises comfort and completes a moment. Smile often and watch how it positively alters fate around you, among your friends and loved ones. Your smile reveals a light for all to see, and embrace a heavenly gift to let your heart shine.

I smile for Jesus, my true light,
In His love, I find pure delight.
Through every trial, He stands by me,
His sacrifice set me free.

I cast my fears upon him.
For Jesus, my Savior,
My soul’s delight.
I smile for Him, for I am set free.

Facing Hard Truths

March 18, 2024 eddaz 3 Comments

I remember when I was young and thought all sorts of religions and belief systems would ultimately lead us to God. Listening to a morning devotion through an application on my phone called “Glorify” reminded me of this bias in the world.

In the Bible, Jesus unequivocally declares, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). His life, death, and resurrection are understood to be the ultimate revelation of God’s love and grace. Faith in Jesus is the only means of reconciliation with God and eternal life.

In the vast expanse where shadows roam,
A voice echoes, clear as a bell’s tone.
“I am the way, the truth, the life,” it cries,
Guiding souls through darkness to brighter skies.

Through valleys deep and mountains high,
This truth endures.
With unwavering faith, we take each step,
In His love and mercy, we find our depth.

Let his guiding light make you whole.
For in Him alone, true freedom lies,
“I am the way, the truth, the life,” He cries.
