light

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
- 1 John 1:7 (NKJV)
 
Spring brings more daylight. The sun lingers a little longer in the evenings, and suddenly it feels like there’s more time in the day. After months of shorter winter days, the extra light feels refreshing and full of life.
Light has a way of changing everything.
When light fills a room, we see things more clearly. The shadows disappear, details come into focus, and what once felt dim or uncertain becomes easier to navigate.
I have to admit something about myself — I’m afraid of the dark. Not in the “boogeyman is going to get me” kind of way, but more in the I can’t see what’s around me kind of way. I actually love going outside and gazing at the stars, especially when we’re camping and far away from the city lights. There’s something peaceful about standing under a sky full of stars.
But I don’t want to walk in pitch black to get there, I need just a little bit of light so I can see where I’m going.
Faith can feel that way sometimes too. We often want God to show us the entire path ahead before we take the first step. We want to know how things will work out, where the road will lead, and what the outcome will be.
But most of the time, God doesn’t light up the whole road, instead, He gives us enough light for the next step.
Scripture often uses light as a picture of how God leads us. When we choose to walk with Him, we are walking in the light of His truth, His grace, and His direction for our lives.
But walking in the light doesn’t mean everything suddenly becomes perfect. It simply means we are no longer trying to find our way in the dark.
There have been times in my life when I tried to figure things out on my own. I worried, planned, re-planned, and tried to control outcomes that were never really mine to control in the first place. The more I tried to manage everything myself, the more uncertain things felt.
But when we choose to walk with God, something changes. His presence becomes the light that guides our steps.
Sometimes He shows us the whole path ahead.
Sometimes He simply gives enough light for the next step.
Either way, we are not walking alone.
Just as the days are growing brighter this spring, God invites us to live our faith in the open light of His presence—trusting Him to guide us, correct us, and lead us forward.
And when we walk in that light, we discover something beautiful: the path ahead may still have twists and turns, but it is never dark when God is leading the way.
