We Grow: A Journey of Drawing Closer to GodSample

Day 261 of 365

In Ephesians 5, Paul encourages believers to live as “children of light,” shining God’s love and truth in a world often clouded by darkness. Isaiah’s prophecies warn of the consequences of straying from God, illustrating the emptiness of a life disconnected from His presence. The Holy Spirit empowers us to walk in light, leading us to reflect God’s love, joy, and peace, and drawing others toward His truth. When we live in alignment with God’s ways, our lives become beacons of hope for those searching for meaning and purpose.

Walking as children of light requires intentional choices—rejecting bitterness, pride, and impurity, and choosing love, kindness, and righteousness. The Spirit continually works within us, illuminating areas that need transformation and guiding us toward a life that mirrors Christ. Our actions, words, and attitudes become a testimony, inspiring others to seek the freedom and joy that come from living in God’s light.

Today, ask the Holy Spirit to help you walk as a child of light. Let His presence guide your thoughts, words, and actions, and may you shine brightly for Him. As you live in His light, may your life draw others to the hope and healing found in Christ.
