THE LIGHT OF OUR HEART

“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

Philip P. Bliss wrote one of my favorite hymns “The Light of the World is Jesus”.  I love these words.  “No darkness have we who in Jesus abide; The Light of the world is Jesus! We walk in the light when we follow our Guide! The Light of the world is Jesus!”

Not only is Jesus the light of the world, He is also the Light of our heart.  No matter how many times satan tries to discourage us and people say cruel words to us and we get discouraged and feel like giving up, Jesus is faithful to shine His light a little brighter in our heart.  Jesus defeated satan on the cross so no matter how many times satan attacks us, we can depend on Jesus to help us.  We have a faithful compassionate and loving Saviour Who loves us so much He died for us.

We have this assurance in the Bible.  “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).  So don’t despair when satan attacks you or when people say cruel things to you and about you, just lean on Jesus and let Him shine His light of love brighter in your heart.
