I love light. The house we are in now has crazy windows all over the place! In John 8:1-20 Jesus says, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Most all of God's creation is drawn to light. Warm fires, dawn, sunshine, smiles seem to brighten our days. The light of Jesus must be the most desirable. The Message version words it, "I am the world's Light. No one who follows me stumbles around in the darkness. I provide plenty of light to live in."
Light is necessary for growth. Even though God's light may reveal some ugly places in our lives, we need His light and truth so the uglies can be addressed and redeemed. We can move on and grow.
Let's warm up to the light of our Lord and His word today. No matter where we've been, we can trust Him to encourage us. (Just as he did the woman caught in the act of adultery with "Neither do I condemn you".)
Living in this light of His causes us to glow also: “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you." (Isaiah 60:1)
