I love how the light lingers this time of year. But have you noticed how really dark the mornings are? At 4:30 a.m., it is easy for me to stumble as I move from my bed to the routines of the day. Perhaps, like me, you have noticed just how much light comes from mashing a button on your cell phone. It’s at least enough to get me to the bathroom for my shower…
Light –
“This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 1:5-7
So the day begins, and with it comes opportunities….
To forgive the one who wrongs you,
To cheat someone,

To forgive the one who wrongs you,
To cheat someone,
To encourage one another,
To stumble in word or deed.
“And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

John 3:19-21
The first thing God created was light. (Gen. 1:2-3). Hmmmm……must be pretty important to God that we be able to see.
And then He gave us His only Son, Jesus….”Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.’” John 8:12
And then what did He say to us? “You are the light of the world. (Wait a minute, He is the light, and I am the light also?!? YES! If He is in me, then YES!!!) ….Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5: 14, 16
Go into all the world today and be light for Jesus! He told you that you are. Do you believe what He says?
