the unexpected

grace....receiving what you do not deserve...have not earned...did not ask for...did not expect

like picking up our wedding invitations from the print shop and being told there is no charge...but
have to be told again..because the fact is so surprising

lights

He uncovers the deeps out of darkness and brings deep darkness to light.
For these commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the corrections of discipline are the way to life.
For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling!
