"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house." Matthew 5:14-15

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it." Matthew 13:45-46

Fine-Toothed Comb

I'm in the process of editing/rewriting my historical novel which I completed in early February. Even though the initial story is down on paper, I'm now using a fine-toothed comb to go through each word to polish and perfect it. At times I can edit a sentence at a glance, but others require word by word study and perusal. I'm finding it takes intense concentration and may seem tedious to some. The process is slow, but I'm enjoying it.

This verse came to mind this afternoon while I was working. "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Matthew 5:18  I'm thankful that God's Word remains unchangeable.
