OUR GUIDING LIGHT

"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 a beautiful hymn about our Saviour "The Light of the World Is Jesus". I love the words in this heart touching inspiring hymn.

"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!

Come to the light, ’tis shining for thee; Sweetly the light has dawned upon me; Once I was blind, but now I can see: The Light of the world is Jesus!"

Thank You, Jesus, for being our Guiding Light in this world of darkness and violence. I love You and appreciate all You have done for me. I look forward to the day when I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face.

Carrie E. Breck wrote the beautiful heart touching hymn "FACE TO FACE WITH CHRIST, MY SAVIOR". I believe she wrote this from the depths of her heart.

"Face to face with Christ, my Savior, Face to face—what will it be, When with rapture I behold Him, Jesus Christ who died for me?

Face to face I shall behold Him, Far beyond the starry sky; Face to face in all His glory, I shall see Him by and by!

Only faintly now I see Him, With the darkened veil between, But a blessèd day is coming, When His glory shall be seen. What rejoicing in His presence, When are banished grief and pain; When the crooked ways are straightened, And the dark things shall be plain."

Are you ready to meet Jesus if He should come back for us while you are reading this devotion? If not, I urge you to invite Jesus into your heart right now before it is too late. He loves you so much He died for you.
