For me, being a child of the light means that no matter how dark or pressing the situation may appear, God’s light still shines through. It is such a comforting reminder when things feel so dark. Yet it is also a reminder that I am supposed to live and think differently. That even as frightening as it might feel, we don’t have to remain in the darkness because we have a light that shines through it.
One day, I listened to a sermon, and the pastor said, “The kingdom of God is driving out the kingdom of darkness. We don’t have to walk in darkness, and we get to live for Jesus. The Enemy is working overtime, hoping we will believe his lies. We were made for so much more than living for ourselves.”
There is hope when we understand our God-given rights as children of the Most High (John 12:35). It can cause us to stand up, to be that light that God intends, and to go into the darkness knowing it will not overcome us.
God can help us not to be overcome by our circumstances. We choose to be that light that God has called us to be. Then we can live out our purpose, knowing that God has called and equipped us for our missions.
Ask God for the power be a child of the light.
