LIGHT: The Light from heaven will shine upon you today - Acts 8:3

But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he traveled, he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” He said, “Who are you, Lord?”  The Lord said, “I AM Jesus, whom you are persecuting, but rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told what you must do.” Acts 9:1-6 WEB


Poem: "LIGHT OF THE WORLD" by Bettina Van Vaerenbergh.*
Jesus is the Light of the world;
The Light that will never grow dim.
They shall never walk in darkness;
All who believe and follow Him.

You will have the Light of life;
The light that will never grow dim.
You'll never walk in darkness —
And never alone if you follow Him!

Prayer to be a light to people in darkness
I remember the day, Lord Jesus, You shined Your heavenly Light upon my life and vanquished the darkness that enslaved me for numerous years. Please use me this day to be a light to someone who loves darkness and relishes doing what is evil in Your eyes. I ask You to heal their blindness and rescue them from the devil's control as I point them to You, the Light of the world. I pray for their salvation in Your holy and mighty name, amen!
