The Words of Jesus of Nazareth
 
The Light That Has Lighted the World
 
I have come to be a light to the world, that whoever believes in me should not remain in darkness. I am the light that has lighted the world; they that follow me will never again walk in darkness, but live their lives in the light.
Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful for the blessings – family, health, freedom, knowledge of You in and through Jesus by the Spirit alive in me; humbled by my being, my walk, my actions, my words, my thoughts. I seek, I need to capture the feeling of Your presence in every moment to be what I am regardless of where I am at, or when things happen, or what I am facing, or how I am dealt with , or who it is. Only Jesus’ Words hold the truth, the secrets I seek; and only You know Jesus who as one with You and together one in the Spirit, able to reveal to me and teach me what I seek, oneness. All the time remembering the purity of innocence of my children, the joy they bring me, and the true blessings that You have given. Help me shine for them, let Your teachings be visible to them and move them closer to Jesus. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
There are three distinct comings of the Lord of which I know: His coming to men, His coming into men, and His coming against men.
— St. Bernard of Clairvaux
39 But know this, that if the householder had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into. 40 You also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an unexpected hour." 41 Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for all?" 42 And the Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time? 43 Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes will find so doing. 44 Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. 45 But if that servant says to himself, `My master is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk, 46 the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will punish him, and put him with the unfaithful. 47 And that servant who knew his master’s will, but did not make ready or act according to his will, shall receive a severe beating. 48 But he who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, shall receive a light beating. Every one to whom much is given, of him will much be required; and of him to whom men commit much they will demand the more. 
Audio books I am listening to and other books or readings I am reading:
The Diamond in Your Pocket: Discovering Your True Radiance unabridged By Gangaji Narrated by Gangaji – The first major book release from Gangaji, describes our never-ending search to find fulfillment, which, paradoxically, is already present if we will only stop long enough to discover its true source. "I have discovered that it is actually impossible to find happiness," Gangaji explains. "As long as you are seeking to find happiness somewhere, you are overlooking where happiness is…in your true nature."
The Daily Message Unabridged by Eugene H. Peterson Narrated by Kelly Ryan Dolan – The much-anticipated daily "reading" version of The Message in audio format is finally here. Designed for individuals as well as small groups, The Daily Message combines Discipleship Journal’s renowned book-at-a-time reading plan with a flexible format that allows the listener to go through the Bible in one year or spread out the listening with an alternate two-year plan. This version provides monthly plans for 26 readings, and allows for reflection time, minimizing frustration. It also includes Eugene Peterson’s acclaimed chapter introductions from The Message.
