Smile in the Light

 Meditate as you walk.

This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all. So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:5-7

Don’t settle for stumbling around in the dark for the rest of your life. Get right with God. Allow Jesus, who is the light of the world, to clean you up, spiritually. He has already taken your sin to the cross—so accept what He has done and rejoice in the light of His love. Simple thing to do…but humbling as well. Who are you to not embrace the truth and live, or walk, in a way that honors God? Practice the truth—seek God with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength. God gives us a choice. Choose Jesus and choose life in the light forever. Reject Jesus and you will continue to walk in the darkness forever. Your choice. Personally, I choose Jesus as my own Savior.

Fellowship is a wonderful thing…when you can get it during this time of social distancing and isolation. Fellowshipping via Zoom is OK—but it still is not the same as sitting down with a cup of coffee or tea and Christian friends. Hugs would be appreciated—but let’s keep our distance. Let others know that you are smiling at them behind your mask. A smile can be very encouraging—and remember how your own smile elicited a smile from others…and to then others. That ripple effect that could just light up a room full of smiling faces. Keep smiling—as you remember what Jesus has done for you, your family, friends and neighbors.
