Let the Sunshine In

You are the Son Shine!

In my prayer time this morning something really cool happened…
I began to pray then the spirit of prayer fell…and I really began to pray…

It was cloudy outside which cast a gloomy, shadowy haze, in the house…but I didn’t realize it at the time I was caught up in the presence of the Lord…

As I prayed for something specifically, at that exact moment, even though the blinds were closed, brightness filled the room as the sun came shining through the window…it was glorious….I was so taken in by the beauty of God and His presence, I could hardly contain my joy!

And then I was silent;
I listened as the Lord began to speak to my spirit…and He said…………

“You will see my salvation. You have your request!”

Well that was the icing on the cake so to speak…and in faith I know God heard and has answered…

Then this little song came to my mind… ‘Open up your heart and let the sunshine in.’

I copied the lyrics below. Thank you Jesus for your great Love!!!!!!

OPEN UP YOUR HEART (AND LET THE SUNSHINE IN)

Mommy told me something a little girl should know
It's all about the Devil and I've learned to hate him so
She says he causes trouble when you let him in the room
He will never ever leave you if your heart is filled with gloom

So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin
Smilers never lose and frowners never win
So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in

When you are unhappy, the Devil wears a grin
But oh, he starts a-running when the light comes pouring in
I know he'll be unhappy 'cause I'll never wear a frown
Maybe if we keep on smiling he'll get tired of hangin' around

So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin
Smilers never lose and frowners never win
So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in

If I forget to say my prayers the Devil jumps with glee
But he feels so awful, awful, when he sees me on my knees
So if you're full of trouble and you never seem to win
Just open up your heart and let the sun shine in

So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin
Smilers never lose and frowners never win
So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in

How cool is that? Jesus you are my Sun-shine! Amen! You are the Son Shine!

Jesus, thank you for being our sunshine…thank you for answering when we call…and thank you for your salvation and grace….Amen!
