Aletheia- A Lantern In The Dark
My name is Alleytia, here I will share my thoughts and experiences and the ways in which the Light of the World shows me His way at every step.
John 14 vs 6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Hebrews 11 vs 13-17
These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.
