TODAY’S WORD…

.

Jesus said,

“Everyone who does evil hates the light,

and will not come into the light

for fear that their deeds will be exposed.

But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light,

so that it may be seen plainly

that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.”

.

– John 3:20-21 (NIV)

REFLECTION…

.

Faith brings us out of darkness into the light,

and sets us on the road to salvation.

.

Jesus also told us,

“I am the light of the world.

Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness,

but will have the light of life." (Jn 8:12)

.

It is clear, however, that

if we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness,

we lie and do not live out the truth. (1 Jn 1:6)

.

Do I tend to steer away from the light of Christ?

Do I stay away from opportunities to get closer to the Lord,

because I fear He will make me see what lies deep inside of me,

– things that I would rather not even admit to myself?

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Jesus, Light of the world,

grant me Your heavenly blessing.

Illuminate my heart, fill me with hope,

and brighten my life

with the spirit of faith, love and truth.
