We lost our way. That's an obvious fact. We fell into an addictive and destructive lifestyle. We hid in dark and isolated places. Sometimes that was in dark corners and streets, but even if it was under bright lights, we were still lost in the dark places in our minds and hearts. We were lost in this darkness and powerless to find a way to the light. Who can show us the way out of darkness into the light? Jesus says He is the light and if we follow Him, we won’t have to walk in darkness but will have the light that gives life.
“I am the way, the truth, and the life!” Jesus answered. “Without me, no one can go to the Father. I am the light for the world! Follow me, and you won’t be walking in the dark. You will have the light that gives life.” (John 14:6, John 8:12b CEV)
The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. (Romans 8:11 NLT)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thank You for seeing me when I was lost in darkness and for sending Jesus who is the light that shows me the way to You. I surrender myself to You and choose to follow Your plan for my life. I ask for the empowering of Your Holy Spirit to do Your will so I may bring light into the darkness of those around me. Amen
