My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Alyson Kieda, … AT THIS LINK … writes about a friend named, Jen, who was taught inappropriately how to share the Gospel as a child; but later in life, along with her husband, developed a way to share the light of Christ with their kids and others which simply showed how Christ had given them His light to follow and how it changed their lives.
And that’s what I’ve discovered as the best way to follow what Christ commanded in Matthew 5:16 … to shine His light for others in darkness to see and come out of the darkness. Oh, how I pray all reading here have found and are following Christ’s light out of the darkness of Satan’s world (see photo) and into light-filled life of righteousness, following our Lord’s light forever.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for shining your light of truth (i.e., God’s word) on my path to follow You.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to use Your light of truth from Your word to fight our path in life. Amen
