As Light Into The World

 

 

I have come as Light into the world, so that no one who believes in Me will remain in darkness.

—John 12:46 (NASB)

 

 

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank You for coming from heaven into our world as Light—so that we who believe would no longer have to remain in darkness, but could choose to live in the Light of Truth.

Before I made that choice, my life was darkened by my sinful nature.  I didn’t have any real comfort, contentment, peace, joy, or hope.  I didn’t know what love was. I lived in fear—because my life was full of lies.  I did not live in Truth.

Now that I have believed in You, and received You as Light into my darkened heart, I am set free from all those things that held me captive, and kept me from living the abundant life that You have called me to live in You.  I am forever held in the Light of Your love.

Help me now, no matter what evil I may face, to choose to walk in Your Light of Truth, and allow the Light of Christ in me to radiate from me, so that others might see You, choose to believe in You, and accept You as Lord of their lives, so that they, too, might have an abundant life—both here and now, and forevermore.

Thank You for coming from heaven into our world as Light—so that we who believe would no longer have to remain in darkness, but could choose to live in the Light of Truth.

This I pray in Your Glorious Name, Lord Jesus, Amen.
