Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
1Peter 5:7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. ESV Bible
John 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. ESV Bible
Have you ever noticed that in the darkest room or on the darkest night just the light of one small match causes the darkness to back off? Where the light is the darkness cannot be. They two cannot simultaneously exist in the same space. There is either light or there is darkness. Light always removes the darkness. The dawn of every new day brings light that makes the blackness of the night flee away.
With Jesus, the light of the world, living in us, the darkness of sorrow, and trials and pain cannot overcome us. Where His light is there can be no darkness. Whether illness or grief or pain, whatever the darkness is that is trying to overcome you in your life, remember that you have within you the “light of the world” in whom there is no darkness at all. Let Him shine in you and the darkness of those things will have to flee away.
Jesus, light of the world, shine in my life today. Be the light in me that causes the darkness of pain and sorrow to flee away. Thank You for lovingly caring for me and for lighting my pathway. Amen
