👋 Good morning, friends!

Let's start our day in the warm embrace of God's word. Today, we're focusing on John 8:12, a powerful proclamation from Jesus Himself.

Verse of the Day

In our journey through life, there are times when we find ourselves walking in darkness, unsure of the path before us. It can be daunting, frightening even, as we navigate these challenging phases. But we have this comforting assurance: Jesus, the light of the world, is with us. When we choose to follow Him, we no longer walk in darkness. We walk in His light, the light that bestows life and vanquishes all shadow of fear.

Jesus' light illuminates our path, showing us the way to love, to forgiveness, to truth. His light also exposes the hidden corners of our lives that need His healing and redemption. But it's not a light that condemns—it's a light that liberates and restores.

Today, if you feel like you're in a dark place, remember this: the Light is just a prayer away. Reach out to Jesus, choose to follow Him, and let His radiant love and truth brighten your path.

Read John 8 in full for context.

Prayer of the Day

Dear Lord, Jesus,

Thank You for being the Light of the world. In moments of darkness, confusion, and fear, I turn to You. Guide my steps, Lord. Let me walk in Your light, a path that leads to love, truth, and eternal life. When the shadows loom, remind me that Your light overcomes all darkness. I choose to follow You, now and always.

In Your holy name, I pray, Amen.

Quote of the Day

"Just as the sun can never stop spreading its light, letting its light shine, so has Jesus come into the world as light, and even though he has ascended, he is still lumen mundi, the light of the world."

— Pope Benedict XVI

A Christian newsletter we highly recommend

A group of Christian millennials think they’ve fixed the news…

It’s called The Pour Over, and it has two goals:

1. Keep its readers informed about world events

2. Keep its readers focused on Christ

That means providing politically neutral coverage of events and pairing it with brief Biblical reminders.

The question is… are they hitting the mark? See what you think, subscribe in just one click.
