Video: People Said Cruel Things, But She Kept Her Secret–TEARS! – “Jane didn’t have any friends, and everyone gossiped behind her back about how she became a mom. But that’s because they don’t know the REAL story. This beautiful video had me in tears, but it’s the fact it’s based on a true story that truly took my breath away. You cannot miss this one!”

The Light Shines in the Darkness
by Kay L. Meyer, Family Shield Ministries and former Director of Development for Lutherans For Life

Last week my husband and I, like 145,000 other St. Louis area residents, found ourselves without electricity for 22 hours after a thunder storm. I woke up at 5:30 a.m. and couldn’t turn on the lights. I couldn’t turn on my computer or the television to check the latest news. We couldn’t even make coffee! I discovered that I’m very dependent on electricity and other power sources.

The day without light reminded me of what the Bible says in 1 John 1:5-6, “And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.”

God’s Word tells us that in heaven there will be no need for the sun or moon to give us light because the Lord will be our light. Rev. 21:23 says, “The city (of heaven) has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine upon it, for the glory of God has illumined it and its lamp is the Lords.” And in Rev. 22:5 we read, “And there shall no longer be any night; and they shall not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God shall illumine them; and they shall reign forever and ever.”

So my message to you today is, “Don’t let the sun stop shining before believing in Jesus! He is our light and our salvation.”
