--'Then Jesus spoke saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life." ---[JOHN 8:12]
~~The room was dark as the mother was making her way to the kitchen. She knew the path since she had walked this way hundreds of times. She could even do it with her eyes closed if she wanted to. "Ouch!" She stumbled and tripped. "Who left this toy on the floor?" she wondered as she got back up and found the light switch.
Sometimes life is like this. We think we know the way and we can live life on our own. We don't need anyone to show us the way. But we tend to stumble and hurt ourselves if we don't have the true Light of Jesus in our lives. Just as we turn the light on in a dark room and see the obstacles in our path, we need Jesus Christ to lighten our paths in this dark world of sin.
As we draw closer to the true Light, it will enlighten us and we will see the dirt and grime in our hearts and lives. We need to ask God for forgiveness and help to change our lives. As He begins to cleanse our hearts, the light of Christ will be reflected to those around us. As the light shines in our lives and we see the evil that lies in our path, we will be able to turn aside and not stumble. Then as we turn away from sin, the light will reflect to the world and they will also see the Light. ~ Jesus is our Light all year long. 'Call on me and I will answer you and show you great things that you do not know.'
