"I have dreamt in my life.......

Arise and Shine Forth

This statement is exciting!

It implies an action, it requires change and progress.

Progress towards something greater then ourselves

Because it’s not just merely our own light we are shining forth

It’s the light of Christ! That lights all men that come into the world.

I gain hope from this, God did not merely put us down her on earth to endure

He put us here to have Joy and we can have the ultimate Joy as we Arise and Shine Forth

Arise
 Arise... sounds so grand and majestic it reminds me that I’m not merely human but a being

Of infinite worth and ability.

We can Arise in our day, arise above our weaknesses above the unclean things of this world.

Because we were not made for this world alone!  And we were not made to be alone.

As we arise and seek out the light of Christ and all his good works He will be with us and we will gain more and more light.

And as we gain more and more light we arise further and further. 

I struggle with my own weaknesses and the scary unsure things of this world like anyone else,
but oh what joy we can have as we look beyond ourselves as we see ourselves and others as God sees us.
He knows our weaknesses but tells us if we will come unto him he will make us strong!  
 If we come unto him he will give us power to do all things. 
Not just a few things, not just things of the spirit or of the body, But ALL things.  

Arise and Shine Forth is a message of admonition a message of hope and power. 
It reminds us of our eternal destiny and that our roll is not merely to live in the here and now
but that we lived before this life, that we now live and that we will yet live
through the Atonement of Jesus Christ our Savior. 

All things are possible.  Do not forget your worth,
do not forget Christ’s infinite love and trust in us,
he will guide us and lift us as we seek his light and in so doing we will Arise
and that light will Shine forth of it’s own accord
for God’s light is in and through all things.
