I wandered aimlessly not even knowing what I was searching for.  It wasn\u2019t until Jesus came into my life that I could see and begin to understand a little clearer in what direction I should have been going.  It was as if a light went on, which it did and I get to walk the rest of this journey with His light to guide me.<\/p>\n<p>Application: To walk in the light I need to be willing to see it.  Jesus is always there, but I need to choose to see Him in every situation.  I need to look for His light and the path He has chosen for me.  I need to be looking in His direction each and every day.  Without His light I could never finish this race of life that I am on.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer: My Lord, thank you for lighting up my life.  I need your guidance every day and I need your help in living this life in a way that would be honoring.  Take my hand please Lord and show me the way to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture: John 8:12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, &#8220;I am the light of the world.
