THE SON IS STILL THERE
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
John 8:12 (King James Version)
One morning as I looked up from my computer in my office and glanced through the slats in the Venetian blinds, I saw it was beginning to get light outside. I thought how true that is in our hearts and lives.
We can be going through some very dark valleys. It feels like there is complete darkness in our hearts and lives but the Son is still there. There is nothing or nobody who can extinguish the light of Jesus in our hearts.
It is true that circumstances, heartaches and grief can make us feel like we in darkness, but the light of Jesus is still in our hearts and will always be there. We need to let His light shine in our hearts and lives.
Harry Dixon Loes who served on the music faculty of the Moody Bible Institute wrote a song that should challenge every Christian “Shine For Jesus Where You Are”. As you read these words of the song, allow them to penetrate and challenge your heart.
“Be a faithful witness for the Lord, Shine for Jesus where you are; You cannot an idle hour afford, Just shine for Jesus where you are”. Are you being a faithful witness for Jesus? Yes, the Son is still in our hearts and lives even when all we can see is darkness.
