Speaking of shadows, remember when, as a little kid, you loved to make "shadows on the walll - fun times of creativity and art? Or is it the dark shadows of night you recall, scary times of fright and fear? Here are some shadows for you - in living color - are any familiar to you??

See the BLUE shadow. It's got some black "overtones"--and it's not singing--unless it's singing the blues. Overwhelmed by despair, disappointment and depression, this dark, sad shadow fills the walls of your heart with graffiti from the grave!

Now watch the RED shadow--this one almost jumps OFF the wall! It's mad at the world, at family and friends, at circumstances, at self--and at God. It's been hurt--imprinted by the hard stuff of life, innoculated with the toxic taste of bitterness, and enlarged to its maximum height, width--and depth.

But wait--there's one more shadow, almost covering the entire wall--it's WHITE with fear, its fists tightly clenched, its nerves moving silently and destructively through its form. Fear of life, fear of death, fear of persons, people, things--and fear of God.

Dark shadows on hopeless, heavy walls of life--and no crayon-removing agent to erase their sinister shapes; no rubbing alcohol to cleanse their gaping wounds...blue, red, white shadows on the walls of your heart--and no hope....OR is there?

Yes, there is HOPE....for there's a God who "does not change like shifting shadows." God's love remains constant and overshadows the deep, dark shadows of life. His love is eternal and it comes, not from a WALL, but from the throne of God.

Look beyond your shadow-filled walls today and see the Blood of Jesus Christ covering, cleansing, creating Light where darkness dwelt--the pure white Light of His Love. Can the walls come down? Can the shadows be dispelled? Of course--when you let in the Light, the powerful Light of God's love! Now believe it, receive it, and have a wonderful day!

Walk in Worship - A wing 'n a prayer!

Today's hymn: "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho"

Today's prayer: ""Lord, the walls are up in my heart's house; shadows move across the surface; nothing will erase them away--NOTHING but Your PRECIOUS BLOOD which I claim in my life this day. Eradicate the shadows, tear down the walls, and may I be FREE to serve You, In Jesus' Name, Amen." In Jesus' Name, Amen."
