CLOUDY OUTSIDE

“I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.”

John 12:46 KJV

Even when it is cloudy outside, we still have the light of Jesus.  Rev. Henry Jeffreys Zelley wrote one of my favorite hymns “Heavenly Sunlight”.  “Shadows around me, shadows above me, Never conceal my Savior and Guide; He is the Light, in Him is no darkness; Ever I’m walking close to His side.”

When people criticize us, yell at us, curse us or hit us, we still have the light of Jesus.  The light of our Saviour will never dim or go out no matter how many times satan attacks us with vicious lies.  What a healing balm it is to our weary battle scarred heart to know we will always have the light of Jesus.

Do you have the light of Jesus in your heart?  Have you opened the door of your heart and invited Jesus in to be your personal Saviour?  “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20).

Heavenly Father, I pray for every person who is not saved.  May today be the day they open the door of their heart and let Jesus come in to be their Saviour.  Help us to be a shining light for Jesus in a world that is filled with hatred.  Jesus, thank You for being our Light.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
