Light of the world

You are the light of the world like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. Matthew 5:14

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." - thy word

I got ready for school in the dark today. The light in my room chooses when it wants to turn on. When I flip the switch a lot of times my room stays dark. After a while it may go on but when my room is dark it leaves me thinking that the light bulb is burnt out.

Anyway getting down to the point. I came across this sudden understanding in my life. I want to make a choice starting today. I Rhia Nichole refuse to be like my light in my room. I don't want to be turned off when life isn't going my way. I don't want to stop shining just because I am burnt out. I want to continue to be a light to the world through the good times and the bad. Especially in the bad times, because that is when the world needs the light the most. A lot of people are in a dark place searching for some sort of light. They want to find the light so they can escape whatever they are going through. I want to be the light in their lives so that I can guide them to a place of refuge. I want to lead them to someone who understands every single circumstance. I want to lead them to a someone who loves without a
condition. I want to lead them to my king in heaven Jesus. It's like when it's dark and you've lost your way in the jungle, you take out a flashlight to find your way. The world is a jungle with many traps that will destroy you. I hope to be the flashlight that never burns out so
that I may lead you to safety.

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, "I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life."
