Lord, The Light of Your Love is Shining
by
Emanuela Willen
Lord, The Light of Your Love is Shining is a continuation of the author’s first book, My Journey Back to God. In this story, Emanuela recalls her personal testimony, including her struggles and how she changed her perspective to go on. As a believer, the author’s walk of life hasn’t been easy, but she relied on the study of the bible and in her belief that Jesus is real. After moving to another country, she found her call in scripture. When entering into Canada, she was met with a sponsor – a widowed man with 8 adult children – who later became her life partner. In this story, the author is confronted with a culture that is destroyed by English and French speaking people. Her love of the First Nation was woken up many years prior in her former home country of Switzerland, but here in Canada she felt the hate of this nation that has seemed to have lost their culture. Entering into the country as a stranger, she was forced to learn and speak English, which posed to be a struggle with her hard Swiss accent. This story in its entirety will show readers how important it is to be a believer in Jesus – He was the presence that guided her through these struggles, and became an important aspect of her new life in Canada. She was often comforted by the fact that everything happens in God’s plan, and knowing that He is the only one who makes it happen. However, this path in life is also covered in hate, such as racism ad xenophobia, amplifying the importance of putting God first and trusting Him through the many ups and downs we encounter in all walks of life. With all these difficult experience at hand, the author learned to look at life with a different outlook: “If God is for me, who can be against me?”
