For those of us who are not winter friendly, we have been enjoying some lovely spring temperatures lately and I for one am enjoying the sun. Believe me, I have become accustomed to grabbing every beam of light possible with these cold winter days.
As a morning habit, I take my dogs out to exercise at the local dog park at 8:00 a. m., everyday, rain or shine. So, with these cold mornings I have definitely learned to cherish every beam of warmth that passes through the gloomy unwelcoming clouds that cover the grey atmosphere.
These involuntary actions of running for warmth while standing out in the shivering cold reminded me of how Jesus is the light of the world; He could never be covered by the clouds. John 8:12 states, "…I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." We as Christ-followers shine for the world to see that He is our King. We are to be a light to those in dark places so that Christ who lives in us is ever present in our day-to-day lives and interactions.
Therefore, when you step out today regardless of the weather, take the time to let God use you in someone’s dark time, be the light that Jesus is to us and show those who need God that He is the light at the end of that dark tunnel.
