The Heavenly Light

“God is light.”
— 1 John 1:5

“It is a time to be entirely heavenly, for the earth is far from God, and daily its darkness closes in, but we belong to the light, and await another day.”

“How happy one is to belong to Him, and in His light to see light! How brilliant and glorious is this light to those who are from home, awaiting … the coming of this precious Saviour, who will set them in heaven as the rays of His glory and jewels of His crown … as the bride of His heart.”
