The Light That Overcomes All Darkness- Introduction

Contributed by Gary Tate on Mar 6, 2024

This I believe can help those who have or are struggling with their relationships. As a grown man now, I understand I had been living within “darkness”. I did not understand until ten years ago I was walking around being held captive by feelings of abandonment and a “orphan spirit”.

I find that we all want to understand what we can do when facing what seems to be at times an onslaught against us mentally and Spiritually. This can be true for those who have dealt with the thought of not being loved, as I did as a young boy. In my situation then as my “birth Father” was never ...read more

Be Led By Jesus

Contributed by Richard Papafio on Nov 26, 2017

The blind man sees through the eyes of the one leading him. But the one who is not blind sees through His own eyes. Therefore the blind man leans on the understanding of he who leads him but the one who sees leans on his own understanding.

May the peace of the Lord be with you.
