Life can be nothing but darkness, blinding you not to understand who you are, and not to see your purpose in life. Darkness brings confusion and blindness. Those who grope in darkness lose hope. They just can't find their way. When there is light, your life is changed. Everything changes.
No person can defeat the darkness of life. He may hate the darkness, but its power confines him. He may curse the darkness, but that changes nothing. Darkness has the power to blind and bind a person, and hope cannot be found. Light shows you life anew.
The light of life shows who you really are. Light enables you to look into the mirror of truth. You see yourself needing God's grace to forgive all of your sins. Most of all, you see the truth of God's love and mercy at the cross of Jesus. You see the One who loves you and gave Himself for you. There you see how much God loves you.
The light shows you the right path in life. You see your purpose and destiny. You see where you belong, and where you are needed. Your darkness of confusion is broken. Light overcomes all the darkness in your life.
The light of life has a name. His name is Jesus. He said, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life" (John 8:12). He is your light out of darkness. He is your light as you walk through this dark world. He is for you the light of life.
