EZEKIEL 18:23 (MSG)
Do you think I take any pleasure in the death of wicked men and women? Isn’t it my pleasure that they turn around, no longer living wrong but living right—really living?
JOHN 12:46 (MSG)
Jesus: I am Light that has come into the world so that all who believe in me won’t have to stay any longer in the dark.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God sincerely desires that all -- even the worst of people -- will turn and live in the light he provides.
PRAYER
Gracious God, your gifts are many and great. Thank you especially for the light that comes into the world through Christ Jesus. What a gift! Forgive me for all the times that I'm willing to put up with moments of darkness in my own life. I'm so tolerant of darkness. It doesn't make sense, especially considering the power of the light. Help me to live today in that light and reflect it into the darkness that's all around -- even in simple ways. I'm going to glow. Amen.
