Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.
Instead of bronze I will bring you gold,and silver in place of iron.
Instead of wood I will bring you bronze,and iron in place of stones.
Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
I will make peace your governor and righteousness your ruler.
No longer will violence be heard in your land, nor ruin or destruction within your borders,
but you will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise.
The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you,
for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
Your sun will never set again,and your moon will wane no more; the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end.
Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.
Verses taken from Isaiah 60.
I am linking to Spiritual Sundays, an inspirational place to visit.
I long for a city where He is the Light.

Hello, Dianne,
What a gorgeous church with wonderful landscaping! I love those pretty crepe myrtles, too. Your scripture verse is very powerful. I, too, long for that day when Jesus will be the only light we need. How I long for our nation to know the peace and holiness that comes from Him. Love and blessings always~ Vicki
