1 John 1:5-10
Today's Scripture

I love how we can see God in all of creation around us. He teaches us lessons through the things and creatures he has made. The darkness of night and the sunshine of the day are metaphors for the darkness of our hearts without him, and yet the promise of newness and light when we look toward the brightness of his love.

All of us have been in darkness in our lives--whether literally or spiritually. We have been apart from the Light of the World, and lived in sin. But God is always faithful to us, and we can turn to his light. He wants to illuminate the dark places, to bring us wholeness and to purify us. All we need to do is come to him in humble repentance, and he will bring us back into the sunshine!

These are encouraging words for a dreary rainy day like today in Minnesota--but for any day! Let's live in the light!
