16 Encouraging Quotes by Sharon Eubank “Christ: The Light That Shines in Darkness” (April 2019)

If you feel that the beacon of your testimony is sputtering and darkness is closing in, take courage. Keep your promises to God.

One of the fundamental needs we have in order to grow is to stay connected to our source of light—Jesus Christ.

He is the source of our power, the Light and Life of the World.

When tragedies overtake us, when life hurts so much we can’t breathe, when we’ve taken a beating like the man on the road to Jericho and been left for dead, Jesus comes along and pours oil into our wounds, lifts us tenderly up, takes us to an inn, looks after us.

I will … ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs, … that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their afflictions.” Christ heals wounds.

When expectations overwhelm us, we can step back and ask Heavenly Father what to let go of.

Christ is willing to join with us in the yoke and pull in order to lighten our burdens. Christ is rest.

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if [you] hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to [you], and will sup with [you], and [you] with me.” Christ sees us in our tree.

How are you going to increase your faith, like the brother of Jared, so your stones can be turned into light?”

This is not the stage in our eternal development where we have all answers. It is the stage where we develop our assurance (or sometimes our hope) in the evidence of things not seen.

Jesus can transform our windows of stone to glass and light. Christ is light to see.

You made mistakes; all come short. Come unto me and repent. I will remember the sin no more. You can be whole again. I have a work for you to do. Christ makes wool white.

Keep your promises to God. Ask your questions. Patiently melt stone to glass. Turn to Jesus Christ, who loves you still.

That means no matter how hard it tries, the darkness cannot put out that light. Ever. You can trust that His light will be there for you.

The Lord knows how hard you are trying. You are making progress. Keep going. He sees all your hidden sacrifices and counts them to your good and the good of those you love. Your work is not in vain. You are not alone. His very name, Emmanuel, means “God with us.” He is surely with you.
