Today's daily devotion

Light That Brings Hope

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.—John 1:5 NIV

Nothing can happen in life that is so dark, that the sunlight will not shine again. The secret is to lift up your eyes “from whence cometh your help.” Today as we change the clocks back, remember all the good things that God has done for you in the past. Visualize that sunlight shining on this moment right now and extending its glorious rays of light into the future.

Jesus, thank You for Your Light which banishes fear and brings new hope of glorious beginnings.
