His Light

Jesus says in John 8:12:  "Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

There is another passage I love in the Old Testament, Psalm 119:105:  "Your Word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path" this passage shares a similar message.

I think sometimes though, we misunderstand a little bit about the meaning of all this. 

These passages don't say, "Do what you want, add Jesus to it, and He'll make it better"

What they are saying is, following Jesus is amazing. With His instruction and leading, He will show you where you are called to walk. He will also show you the way that you are meant to walk. He makes His way clear, and His Word helps us to understand His way.

When we walk with Him, we won't walk in darkness, we'll walk in light. His light.

I'm not sure all the things you're facing now, or what challenges are in front of you, but if you make Jesus the center, if you allow His voice and His Word to light your way, He'll set your direction. When you have Him, your life, and the overflow of your life, will be described as light and life.

You and I need more light in our life, and our friends family and neighbors need more of that too! So let's walk with Jesus, allowing His way, His Word, and His heart to lead us!
