Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”
(John 8.12 NRSV)
Take a moment and close your eyes and imagine Jesus speaking your name. In our prayers and through the scriptures we need to hear Jesus call our name. When Jesus connects on that personal level, we know he is alive. When he calls our name we know death isn't the last word for sinners like us! Jesus won. "WE WON!"

There is a stained glass window which portrays a woman sitting beneath a rough cross with her robes draped on a small pile of rocks. The clouds above her are dark. Beyond her, small dark hills extend into a great expanse. Cutting through the darkness is a brilliant ray of sunshine. The light shines on her and that cross. She looks up drinking it in. This colored glass proclaims the truth of our relationship to our risen Lord. Jesus lives to shine through to us even in our darkest hours.

Dear God, thanks for bringing light to my life. Amen.
