HIS LIGHT NEVER GOES OUT

“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 KJV

Some people are sadder during the winter time than they are in the summer because of the darker days.  I am one of those people.  I need it to be bright all of the time.  If you are like me, we have good news.  Jesus said that if we will follow Him, we won’t ever have to walk in darkness because He is our light.

Jesus tells us in the Bible.  “Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:15, 16).

Do people see the light of Jesus shining through us when we smile and by our actions?  Do they know that we love Jesus by our actions?  Are we an encouragement or a discouragement to our family, to our loved ones and to everyone we see?  What about Jesus?  Are we an encouragement to Him?

If God lays it on your heart to send an encouraging email or a letter to someone through the mail or to call someone on the telephone, don’t wait!  Do it as soon as God lays it on your heart.  Your email, your letter or your telephone call may be what God will use to encourage someone.  We need to be obedient to Him.

Heavenly Father, please help us to be an encouragement to one another.  Thank You for the many times You have encouraged and comforted me through the years.  I love You and appreciate You so much.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
