{"product_id":"let-the-sunshine-in","title":"Let the Sunshine In","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne of the biggest challenges in my design business was getting good lighting in a room. Whether it was making sure there was a lamp next to a chair for reading, soft mood lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere, or the indirect lighting of wall washers, the right kind of light could make all the difference in the design of a room. But I have to say, my favorite source of light was the natural light from the sun. Nothing could make a room come alive more than the soft glow of sunlight bathing a room in its rays. So, pull back those curtains, lift up those shades, and \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003elet the sunshine in!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe sun is vital to our well-being. We need it to grow our food, warm our land, and create a balance in nature. In fact, doctors have found that many people suffer with a condition in the winter called seasonal affective disorder or SAD. The gray overcast days of winter can cause depression, lack of energy, change in appetite, and irritability—all because there is not enough sunshine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere’s another kind of darkness in our world today and everyone is affected by it. It is the darkness of sin. The Bible says we are separated from God because of sin. In I John 1:8-9 we read, \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eIsn’t that a great promise? You see, God made a provision for us to bridge the gap between the perfect, Holy God and sinful man, and that was His son, Jesus Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHe was willing to give His own perfect son for us—\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e because He loved us so much. Another verse tells us, \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e (Romans 5:8). You can’t get good enough to be accepted by God because we will never be good enough—but He loves you just the way you are, unconditionally. And while it’s true that Christ died for us, we know that God raised Him from the dead, so He is a living Savior!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt doesn’t matter what church you go to, or what family you were born into, and you certainly can’t work for this free gift of salvation. You just have to reach out to God by faith and He will give it to you. Jesus said that He stands at the door and knocks. That’s your heart’s door and the only one who can open that door and let Him into your life is \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYOU\u003c\/b\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSo, if the dark clouds of sin and separation from God are making you SAD, then step into the sunshine of His love and forgiveness and He will change you from the inside out. Jesus said in John 12:46 \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark.”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you want to invite Christ to come into your life, just ask Him in a prayer like this: \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“Dear Lord Jesus, I do believe You are the son of God. I know I have sinned and I need Your forgiveness. I turn from my own way and invite You to come into my life. I now receive You as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou have now started a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. When we have a relationship with anyone, we want to spend time with them and communicate with them. Well, the way we communicate with God is through our prayers and the way He communicates with us is through His Word, the Bible. I encourage you to get into that Bible and find out what God wants to say to you and the plan He has for your life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSo now, lift your face to the SON so His light can shine in you as you are filled with His love and joy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PrintMyTract.com","offers":[{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 100","offer_id":67774770446584,"sku":"soc1792700482722","price":20.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 100","offer_id":67774770479352,"sku":"vsr1792700482723","price":35.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 250","offer_id":67774770512120,"sku":"qfe1792700482724","price":38.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 250","offer_id":67774770544888,"sku":"juc1792700482725","price":64.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 500","offer_id":67774770577656,"sku":"xgt1792700482726","price":65.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 500","offer_id":67774770610424,"sku":"xdm1792700482727","price":89.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 1000","offer_id":67774770643192,"sku":"dmd1792700482728","price":74.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 1000","offer_id":67774770675960,"sku":"hbj1792700482729","price":106.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 2500","offer_id":67774770708728,"sku":"eyr1792700482730","price":144.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 2500","offer_id":67774770741496,"sku":"suw1792700482731","price":230.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 5000","offer_id":67774770774264,"sku":"xxd1792700482732","price":275.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 5000","offer_id":67774770807032,"sku":"bcb1792700482733","price":327.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 10000","offer_id":67774770839800,"sku":"pdv1792700482734","price":392.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 10000","offer_id":67774770872568,"sku":"nge1792700482735","price":646.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/2954\/9560\/files\/let-the-sunshine-in_1.jpg?v=1792700489","url":"https:\/\/opalcalfmachine.shop\/products\/let-the-sunshine-in","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
