John 8:12: "Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
Soar! In 66 days
John 8:12: "Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." It's not hard to look around and see that we are living in one of the darkest times in all of human history. But even in the shadows, God has given us a way to shine – through His Son. In Jesus, we have all the joy, hope, and peace that this world lacks. Instead of being discouraged by the darkness of the world, we must rise above it, shining the light of Christ for all to see.

Faith-In-Action:
Let God's light shine! The truth is, God's glory, his radiance, and his brilliance are not dependent on the responses of others. He is who He is. And, He will be who he will be - independent of me.
It is impossible for darkness to extinguish light. It will always shine. It will always be. It does not depend on reactions, perceptions or judgments. It just is.
Even if your flame is hidden, it is still there. It stands ready to shine. We may feel nervous about it or unsure about it - but it is there - and it is powerful. It is the very power he works within us to shine the glory of Jesus Christ in present-day life and relationships. Share God's light today by doing several acts of kindness. "Let your light shine in the midst of darkness."

This week, we'll be transitioning into the idea of rising in it. This idea involves the difficult truth that more often than not, there are things that we can't change. Sometimes, there may not be a way out. But that doesn't mean that we can't soar. In fact, our darkest days can even strengthen our faith in God. It is in these moments that we learn to place all our hope in Christ.

Last week we talked about what it truly means to "rise past" the things we face. We talked about how we must look beyond our present troubles and our past hurts in order to grow spiritually. Now we must dive deeper into how we can actually practice this in our own lives. After all, letting go of our burdens is far easier said than done. So how, then, should we approach them?
