Aug 23rd, 2022: The Nature of Light

The power used to be off when we were in Vietnam.

Sometimes it was fortunate just to have a lamp.

Oil lamps were common because of the lack of electricity.

We could not take anything for granted when it came to utility.

Light certainly has its ways of making us feel better.

It is indeed a mood booster.

It helps us to fight against depression.

We are aware of the lack of light while dealing with mental oppression.

Some people feel more hopeful with light.

Others feel more energetic when it is bright.

What does Jesus mean when He says He is the Light of the World?

It has to deal with the darkness that produces many frauds.

Our human souls long for God.

His light equips us to expose the devil's plot.

Our hearts are weary.

His light brings hope, and we do not have to worry.

Our minds long for rest and peace in His presence.

His light is guiding our thoughts and overcoming our ambivalence.

The light will walk with us through the loneliness of the night.

He also grants us His everlasting presence by our side.

"Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." - John 8: 12
