Surely, righteousness does deliver us from death. But so it also is the everlasting life in us, present in all that we do, far beyond the treasures we gain, far beyond any profits we perceive and declare with our own limited minds.

In the wisdom established in us, and in the faith authored in us by no less than Jesus Christ, it would be inevitable for us to see the glory of our God through instructions and teachings to us.

Allow me a moment of vulnerability.

By the Light of the Living Word, the Word made flesh, we are able to comprehend... even in the darkness.

However it plays, God loves a cheerful giver, because God Himself is a cheerful Giver.

It's always a nice song to remember, a timeless tune to have in our minds, in and out of all that's going on in this world: What a Friend we have in Jesus.
