Daily Devotion

Look Past What You See to What is True. 

“The Light,” Jack responded without opening his eyes.

“That is what Yeshua called seeing the kingdom of heaven. Seeing beyond the principalities of the air, which are the fears that blind us.”

“So we’re all blind, for the most part.”

“For the most part, yes. We see darkness rather than light, and we live in fear and judgment rather than love. There is no darkness in light and there is no fear in love, but you have to first see the light, experience true love without judgment, to really know this…” T. Dekker, The Boy Who Fell From the Stars.

Good Says:

No Silver(love) can be afraid of a Red(fear).”

“But aren’t you at war?”

“Only those who believe they can be threatened can be at war. And only those who are given over to fear believe they can be threatened. I live in the light of love where there is no fear, so I am not at war with anything.” 

But darkness says: “But fear is not an illusion, foolish boy.” Lukas said. “It has saved my people. Fear is the beginning of wisdom; it keeps us safe and alive. There is no salvation without fear.”

Good says: “The spirit of Yeshua(God) is love. A love that cannot know fear. A love that holds no record of wrong. Light that casts out all darkness. Remember who you are.” 

We are the light of the world!

And after losing a fellow source of Love:

“Will you miss him?”

“Miss him? Of course not,” Zevonus said. “He hasn’t left us. He simply isn’t in that body any longer. Love cannot die.”

“Then why do I feel their sorrow?”

“You misunderstand our grief, dear Jack,” Zevonus said. “We feel compassion for humanity. For Lukas who killed Tichondrius. Fear, which masters Lukas, drove him to kill. We mourn for him and for all humanity, because they have forgotten love and live in the suffering fear brings to all.” 

These excerpts are from T. Dekker, Journey to the Silver Towers. They do not flow back to back but are quotes I pulled from multiple pages. Both of these books are from Ted and Rachel Dekker’s, “And They Found Dragons” series. As you can see, they are beautifully written, and I highly recommend reading them… they are for kids and adults – anyone who loves light! I pray these truths bring you peace today as they did me. Rest in the God of Love. Let Love be our guide and may it cast out all fear. Amen.
