We are surrounded by darkness and the ruler of this world, Satan prowls like a roaring lion trying to devour us.  When I see others that are shining the light of Jesus, I\u2019m drawn to them and for the moment we are speaking there is no darkness but only the light of Christ.  Those moments are wonderful because you can feel the freedom and know we are forgiven and enjoy the comfort of our savior.<\/p>\n<p>Application: I\u2019m called to be the light and represent my Lord as I go throughout my day.  I need to search out those who also have the light of Christ to build each other up.
