Expressions of Love

All of creation displays God’s sovereignty. Nature gives us glimpses into his glorious existence. To think that he loves us and wants to continually remind us of his nearness by surrounding us with bits and pieces of his beauty is astounding. Everything that was, is, and is to come stems from Jesus, our eternal expression of life and love.

Yet nothing exemplifies this incredible love more than when Jesus became a man and saved us. Light invaded darkness, and the darkness was powerless to extinguish it. Even now, this One who is light shines into every dark place with hope and truth. As we bathe in his glorious light, dark shadows of heaviness, sickness, and disillusionment fall from our shoulders. We become illuminated with the glory of life himself. If we would simply look with expectation, we would see the expression of his love all around us.

Jesus, shine your light into my life today. Illuminate my thoughts with the glory of your truth. Spark hope where I’ve allowed discouragement. Ignite my faith as I yield shadows of fear to your holy fire. Inflame my heart with passion to know you as you know me. Thank you for expressing your love for me so consistently.
