What joy! • 126:4 Restore our fortunes, LORD, as streams renew the desert. • 126:5 Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy. • 126:6 They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.

Let There Be Light Gen 1:3Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
You Are The Light of The World Joh 1:4 The Word gave life to everything that was created, and His life brought light to everyone.
WE ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD? Luke 11:35 Make sure that the light you think you have is not actually darkness. Luke 11:36 If you are filled with light, with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant, as though a floodlight were filling you with light."
THE LIGHT PIERCING THE DARKNESS Joh 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.
