Sacred Sunrise

When I woke up this morning it was still dark outside. As I prepared for the day, light began to creep into the house from behind the blinds.

Then the Lord reminded me that every sunrise is His reminder of the gift of his Son.

For centuries the world was in darkness until the Light came, and slowly chased it away. And when Jesus completed his work, His light shone with the brightness of the sun.

For years in my life, spiritual darkness reigned undetected by human eyes. Then slowly the light of the gospel chased it away, until suddenly the Son broke through and I became a child of the light.

Each sacred sunrise echoes again Jesus’ words, “I am the light of the world.”

Each sacred sunrise demonstrates again that darkness must flee from His presence.

Each sacred sunrise is a reminder and an invitation.

Thank you Lord for this sunny day.
