A LIGHT TO YOUR PATH

John 3:16 For God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son, that  whosoever believeth in Him should  not perish but have everlasting life. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. John 3:3b Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. Matthew 18:3 Except ye be converted and become  as little children, ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. Revelations 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door I will come into him, and will sup with him and he with Me.  Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

Jesus tells us in many references to "love" our neighbors as ourselves (whom could be anyone, of any faith),  and to love our enemies : Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.   This is the first and great commandment.   And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.   On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 22:37‭-‬40 This, meaning we can shut the books of the law and walk in Love alone. Ye have h

 I was 15. I was a mischievous, sad, malnourished teen, full of confusion and hatred. My dad thought I was a whore, and the whole school though I had never even kissed. For some reason, I was a target of malice. Many lies flowed through the hallways about me. My diet consisted of Pop Tarts, Ramen Noodles and Soda. I never drank water. I never ate fruit. I rarely ate vegetables, except those in season from dad's garden. It was the first day of Christmas break, winter solstice of 1993. I was so excited to party with my friends. We smoked pot and drank beer. Other people at the party were doing other drugs, but I promised myself I would not do hard drugs. I passed out on the couch at about 10:00 pm, and next thing I knew it was about 2:00 am and I had to crawl my way into the bathroom. I pulled myself up with the sink, vomited, washed my face off and forced my head up to look into the mirror...  My eyes were blood red. Not just blood shot, but the veins popped... solid blood
