Homemaking experts tell us that the best light comes through the upper portion of the window. That's why cafe curtains are popular. They let in light from above.
Naturally, every housewife needs light in her kitchen if she is to successfully perform her household duties. Spiritually speaking, we need the light which comes from above, too. The philosophies of great men are interesting; many are inspirational and enlightening. Professional counselors have their place in our scheme of living; many have achieved a measure of success in helping people solve their problems. But Christ is the only true answer to every need of humanity. He is our "Light from above."
Those of us who have experienced a personal relationship with Jesus Christ can testify that He is our "Light from above."
What shall I fear while yet Thou dost lead?
Only for light from Thee I plead.
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying,
I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.
John 8:12

Romans 3:21 - 31
Righteousness Through Faith21But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.
22This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference,
23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
25God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished–
26he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith
28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law
29Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
30since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
31Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law. "Well, Mother, I'm not a child anymore!" one of my teenagers said with exasperation.
"You'll have to do more than talk about it to make me believe it," I said, as I wiped across her bedroom dresser and watched the dust curl. A few minutes before I had ordered: "Now clean your room right." By that I meant: Put away the several pairs of shoes lying about; dust the furniture and floor; shake the rug. Later, when I inspected her room, I knew (by the dust curls) she had not followed my instructions.
There are certain criteria a mother uses in judging whether her child is growing up. Does she accept responsibility willingly -- without forever being told what to do? When it is mealtime does she set the table without being reminded that it is her task? Does she make her bed in the morning? Care for her clothes? Do a thorough job of her assigned tasks? Or, does she give half-hearted service? Does she work cheerfully without constant complaining?
What about us, Christians? Are we making progress spiritually? How mature are we? Are our thoughts and words filled with complaints? Faultfinding? Ungratefulness? Or, do we serve God with glad and willing hearts? Are we going deeper with God? Are we climbing in the School of Wisdom? Are we "growing up?"
Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus
Daily let me go;
Higher, higher in the school of wisdom,
More of grace to know.
But grow in grace,
and in the knowledge of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.
To him be glory both
now and for ever. Amen.
2 Peter 3:18
Self-Control Is Not an Option
by Rick Warren
"For the grace of God...teaches us to say 'No' to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives" (Titus 2:11-12 NIV).
As we discussed in the previous topic, self-control is not optional for Christians. The race we are running is for eternity, and so we're to develop a strict discipline (1 Corinthians 9:25).
Here are some other steps to self-control.
Talk back to your feelings. Do you let your moods manipulate you? God doesn't want you to be controlled by your feelings. He wants you to master your moods. With Christ as the Master of your life, you can learn to master your feelings.
Talk back to them. Learn to challenge your emotions: "For the grace of God...teaches us to say 'No' to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives..." (Titus 2:11-12 NIV).
God's grace gives us the power to do what is right. God gives you the ability to say no to that feeling, to that desire, to that impulse.
Believe you can change. The fruit of the Spirit begins in your thought life. The seeds must be planted in your mind: The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel determines the way you act.
God gave us the power to change our habits when he gave us the power to choose our thoughts. Does Romans 12:2 tell us to be transformed by working hard at it or by sheer willpower? "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2 NIV).
What are we to be transformed by? The renewing of the mind. When your self-control is being tested, you need to fill your mind with the promises of God. First Corinthians 10:13 says, "God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it" (NIV).
That's a fact. If you are a Christian, you can't honestly say, "The temptation was too strong; I couldn't help myself." The Bible says God is faithful. If you're a Christian, he won't let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.
He never asks you to bear something that is bigger than the strength he puts inside of you through his Holy Spirit.
