From darkness to light

The night always leaves people with a feeling of insecurity, especially when there is no source of light, when you can't see anything but darkness.
In moments like that you have o idea where you're stepping, what you're heading towards - you trust only what you can touch and fear covers you.

Imagine what would it be like to live like that, not only for one night, but covered in thick darkness years and maybe even forever...
Most certainly those would be some terrible years, having no purpose.

Did you know that is life without Christ?

When you don't have Him, you're confused, you live in fear, you hurt yourself with the things you bump in to because you can't see.

Something else that you must realize is that this darkness is brought about by Satan, because he wants to destroy you, to make you feel paralysed and in the end, end your life, because you lack the ability to find purpose and meaning in life.
The only way you can escape this situation is by realizing you need Light so that you can see clearly, to know where you're going, to feel the safety and the warmth that the Light brings.
Jesus is the Light that you need in your life.

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." - John 8:12

You don't have to live in darkness anymore, now you can step in to the Light! The apostle Paul got this calling from Jesus:
I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.' Acts 26:17-18

Jesus wants to forgive your sins and set you free from the devil's grip, so that you may become a child of God, enjoying freedom and Light.
All you must do is pray a prayer like the following:
Lord Jesus, I confess that I've lived in darkness and in sin, I proclaim that I want to be Yours and to let You be my Savior, my Lord, and the Light that will light my life. From now on I will pray knowing that you can light me and lead me through this life.
Please forgive me for every mistake and bad deed that I've made in darkness.
From now on I want to be only Yours and follow only You. Amen.

Now that you've prayed this prayer, Jesus Christ has come in to your life and forgave your sins. From today on your life will have purpose and you will have the Light you were begging for together with the inheritance of eternal life.
Whatever your circumstances will be from now on try not to forget what the book of Psalms says about God:
"even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. " Psalm 139:12

From today on you don't have to live in fear, dare to step firmly, to keep going on this Way filled with Light.
