Following the Light of the World

following the light

One way to abide in Christ is to read and meditate on scripture. Because it is the word of God, my mind is enlightened and transformed by it. As I read, meditate and pray I am following the light of the world, Jesus, and learning to abide in Him.

Longest Night of the Year: Family Togetherness

  • Inspirational
