I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark. -John12:46(NLT)
LIGHT THAT COVERS ALL DARKNESS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Is there any area of your life that remains in darkness?
If you believe in Jesus Christ, he will shine over these areas
The Son of Man came so that he can be a guiding light
Look up to him so that you can have freedom in this life.
God’s one and only Son is the light that covers gloom
He transforms you like a flower, so you can bloom
Build your trust in him so you can live out of slavery
He is the light that takes you out of all forms of misery.

People need exposure to light because sunlight provides ultraviolet B (UBV) rays that help the body produce vitamin D. Vitamin D helps balance the calcium that the body needs in order to maintain healthy bones and teeth. Sunlight and light generally also help prevent and treat depression and sadness in people of all ages. The brain begins producing the mood-influencing chemical called serotonin upon first exposure to light in the morning. Just as our bodies need light, our spirits need a beacon to free us from all forms of bondage. Jesus came so that he can be that light that covers all darkness.
PRAYER
Let me never live in darkness anymore, Lord.
REFLECTION
How can a believer stay in the light that covers all darkness?
