The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, 
and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
John 1:9-10 NIV
"The true light" is a quiet warning for us that there are false or counterfeit lights that might appear good are not. 
Jesus is the True Light. 
Beware of counterfeits that promise quick, easy, self centred, self righteous paths.
Jesus is the True Light.
Truth, justice, mercy, compassion, love. 

Ever felt unseen?
That no one really knows you?
That the real you is missed completely by the world around you?
Jesus knows what that is like. 
Unrecognised.
Unseen.
He knows.
His life on earth showed that he did not walk past the small, the vulnerable, that his whole mission was to seek out the one who is lost. 
With Jesus we are never unseen.
Never unknown.
Never unloved.

Let the True Light of truth, justice, mercy, compassion, & love shine on you, and through you today

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
