Brighten Someone's Path

 February 24, 2025

Verse of the day - John 8:12 (NRSV)

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.'

In chapter 8 of my third book, Jesus speaks to us about being a light for someone else.

Excerpt from Come To The Cross

When you come to know Me as your Lord and Savior, share Me with others.  Anytime you meet someone, share your faith.  Be the light that brightens someone else's path.  Many times, My dear children are saddened by the events of the world.  By sharing your faith with others, they may be enlightened.  In turn they will help someone else.  Let your light shine brightly before others.  Allow them to see good works despite the evil works being done in the world.  Good works bring hope to everyone.

When we follow Jesus, we are followers of the Light.  Just as Jesus is the Light of the World, we too should be allowing our light to shine before others.  At Baptism, we were given a candle that represents the Light of Christ.  As we grow older, and learn about Jesus, our light will grow brighter.  As our light grows brighter, we should not be afraid to pass our light along to others.  The more we share the Light of Christ with others, the brighter the world will become.  Without the Light of Christ in our life, things will grow dark and gloomy.  Let us go forth with our light and share it with others.
