Ephesians 5:8-9

“For you were once darkness. But now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth.)”

Because we are people who have light from the Lord, our actions will reflect our faith. We might have a past with cynicism, shame, despair or even self-doubt, but because we have the light of the Lord now this is all in the past. Sometimes it is hard to let go of the past, the hurts, disappointments, and self-doubt, but as believers in Jesus Christ we no longer need to live those issues. We can breathe deep the love of the Lord and carry on with that love so that others may see it in us. Satan desires that we step back into the darkness, but please remember whose you are, and in him there is no darkness. We need to take a stand for what is good, we must lovingly speak out the truth so that others can step out the darkness as well. Are you ready to dispel darkness?

Dear God, thank you that I can live in the light instead of the darkness. Give me courage and your wisdom to show this light to others. Help me to continue to walk in your light. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
