Jesus said. “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life,” (John 8:12). When I am in a dark place in my life whether it be poor health, a loss, financial worries, a spiritual dryness, feelings of depression; to regain my joy I must look at the light of Jesus that lives inside of me. “ I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who lives, but it is Christ who lives in me….” (Galatians 2:20)
The source of my joy is in Jesus Christ. When I pray to my Lord, and seek his light that he gladly shines on me; it miraculously removes the dark that has been surrounding me. There is no greater joy than to be in the presence of our Lord and Savior. “So do not fear, for I am with you;,do not be frightened, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you,” (Isaiah 41:10).
Trusting God and relying on his inner presence for inspiration and guidance makes it easier to overcome the darkness and confusion. The light of God insures that the journey to seeking God’s light will be a source of comfort. “God is light and in Him is no darkness at all,”(1 John 1/5). My hope and prayer is that the light of Jesus Christ, that lives inside every Christian shines brightly; love and blessings , Carby
