The people who live in darkness
have seen a great light,
and for those living in the land of the shadow of death,
a light has dawned. (Matthew 4:16)

Jesus, you are the light of the world. But you’ve called me to be light to this world too.

This world is ruled by fear and anger right now. I can understand their fear and anger.

But I can’t be light if I’m ruled by fear and anger like they are. So let the first thing that people see in me not be fear or anger, but joy.

Joy in knowing that the King has come.

Joy that his Kingdom has started.

And joy that I am now part of that kingdom.

Help me to live like a child of the Kingdom. Living by every word that comes from your mouth. Trusting you completely. And serving you joyfully, fishing for others that they may know your joy too.
