Everlasting Daylight

by Sam

Revelation 22:5

There will be no night, and they need no lamp light or sun light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.

When I was growing up, I was afraid of the dark.

I always had a night light near my bed, in the hallway, and in the bathroom. I was scared because I couldn’t always see what was in the dark. I was never scared in my room, hallway, or bathroom during the day, but even now, as an adult, I am leery of dark alleys and dark corners in city streets. This is because there could be any number of dangers in those places.

God invites us to a place where there is no darkness, where there is no night.

He wants to live with us forever in the bright joyful daylight of His glory. There is no sun in heaven because God Himself shall be our light. He wants us to be free of all fear, pain, and sorrow.

Ask God into your heart, so from this day forward, He can be the Light in your life.

Let all the darkness of your heart completely disappear as God’s Light fills you. And when you continue your life with the Light of God, one day you will find yourself standing in heaven — where your wonderful loving God shines on you directly.

Let God illuminate you today.


Reflection

What are some things that scare me? I will write down three things and give them to God, asking Him to shine His light on them and give me peace and safety.


Prayer

Wonderful God, Please come into my heart. Through Your comforting light, cleanse my heart of the results of sin: pain, suffering, doubt, and death. Fill me with joy, gladness, and peace. Guide me with Your light to everlasting day. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
