Darkness

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 NIV

This verse is perfect for today. It's Halloween! The night of spooks and frights. The night of dark spells and magic. In the name of fun we dress up our houses and ourselves to celebrate darkness. If we're not careful, we stay in the darkness where it's scary, frightening, and it seems there is no way out. Even Christians find themselves in darkness once in a while.

But in this verse Jesus himself promises that He is the light, and if we believe in Him we will walk in the light with him. We don't have to be afraid. We don't have to worry.

Expel the darkness with God's love and forgiveness.
