No Darkness At All

     How did we live life without Jesus? We have fought disease, been hurt by friends, struggled through class, birthed babies, grieved over lost loved ones and cried buckets of tears. Jesus comes into our darkness and shines with His light. Sometimes it is the tiniest glimmer of hope, or the first tinge of a smile or a bursting ray of sinshine that suddenly warms our heart.

     He is the light of the world and He is the lamp of heaven. His light overcomes darkness. Ask Him to shine light into the deepest part of you. Anything you have hidden from yourself or others, anything that still tingles with hurt and sadness and anger. You know those old scabs that break open to wound you time and time again? Jesus will place a soothing balm over them all until, one by one, they never bother you again.

This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that god is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5

     Invite the light of Christ to shine on you. He will remove the darkness of Satan’s work. Don’t allow Satan and his angels to take another day of joy from you. The light of Jesus has come to give you love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Galatians 5:22) Choose the gifts of His light. In Him there is no darkness at all.

Jesus,

Let Your light shine on and through us. You were born in Bethlehem, humbling Yourself from full glory to live as a man. Your glory is complete and it is available to us each day. We want to live in that light without any darkness at all.

Amen
