How did we live
life without Jesus? We have fought disease, been hurt by friends, struggled
through school, birthed babies, grieved over lost loved ones and cried buckets
of tears. Jesus comes into our darkness and shines with His light. The tiniest
glimmer of hope, or the first tinge of a smile or a burst of sunshine suddenly and
surprisingly warms our heart.
He is the light of
the world. 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, anger
and guilt. You know those old scabs that break open to wound you time and time
again? Jesus will place a soothing balm over them until they heal completely.
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 let
him 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 gift of His light. In Him there is no
darkness at all.
Jesus,
Let Your light shine on and through us. You humbled 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
