I Am The Light

I Am the Light

I am the light of the world. The person who follows me will never live in darkness. He will have the light that gives life.

—John 8:12 (ICB)

I created Adam and Eve to walk side by side with Me. I loved walking and talking with them in the garden, before the evil one tricked them. Ever since that time, man has had a huge, dark emptiness in his heart—an emptiness that only My Presence can fill.

Some people try to fill that hole with the things of this world— popularity, money, even drugs or alcohol. Other people try good things—such as teaching others or being a volunteer—hoping that goodness will make them whole. But no matter how good you are, only Ican fill that emptiness.

Live close to Me. The Garden of Eden is no more, but the garden of your heart is alive and well. Walk with Me in the garden of your heart—letting Me fill the emptiness. In this way I can live in the world through you! Together we will push back the darkness, for I am the Light of the world.
