When Light Shines Darkness Flees

Light not only attracts, but it is powerful. When there is light the darkness flees, this is true both naturally and spiritually. All through the gospels Jesus taught that He was the light, and that the light shines in the darkness. He was making the point that the life He has to offer is so much better than what the world has; there is no comparison at all. Additionally, we don't need to fight the darkness; we can simply let the light shine.

We have the opportunity and privilege to be His light bearers in the world. As we abide in Him and grow in relationship with Him, He shines His light in and through us. Each and every day we can help show that there is a difference as we let His light shine in our lives. We don't need to be shy or apologetic around others; we are called to reaching out to others and representing Christ. He has changed us and made us new, and we can help show others they don't have to stay in the dark – or be afraid of it.

God bless you and you let the light shine.
