When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
After stumbling around in the dark as I watered my yard recently, I decided it wasn't worth the risk, so I found a flashlight so I wouldn't meet any unexpected "critters" as I walked through old dead leaves, stepped in mulch-filled flower beds, and reached through the shrubbery to turn my faucets on and off. (I live in a wooded area with venomous snakes!) However, my joy over a flashlight to light my way at night is nothing compared to finding Jesus. Jesus, "the Light of the world," is also my Light! He illuminates my heart on my darkest nights, my future with his coming glory, my path with his words of truth, and my hope with the dawning of each Sunday and its weekly reminder of Jesus' triumph over the grave. Jesus is my "Light of life": How about you?
My Prayer...
Father, dear precious and holy God, how can I ever thank you for the Light of my life? Until my face reflects the light of your glory from being in your eternal presence, Jesus will light my way through this dark world. Thank you for sending your Light so I could find your life! I praise and thank you in the name of Jesus, the Light of the world. Amen.
"Dear Father, whose power is made perfect in weakness, Even though certain things are true, please keep me from saying them if they might be perceived..."
"Few things are more infectious than a godly lifestyle. The people you rub shoulders with everyday need that kind of challenge. Not prudish. Not preachy. ..."
"Dear Beloved,
I hope you enjoy reading the verses below as much as I enjoyed being at work in the lives of My disciples bringing them deliverance.
....."
