John 3:21

Are you actually living by the truth? For the longest time I lived a fairly unexamined life and the enemy was able to dupe me into embracing many things as true that were actually lies. I had messages playing on repeat in my head that were based on lies I had believed from my childhood that were impacting my sense of myself, my reaction to difficulties, and my daily choices. The devil has a way of making his lies feel so true. This is why we have to go through a spiritual process of replacing Satan’s lies with God’s truth! Jesus is the Truth! Scripture is the Truth! Often, we must prayerfully think our way through this. We must preach to ourselves about what is false and what is true, especially when what is false feels so true! And then we must step into that truth from God and live it out and put faith into action! And when we do this, Jesus will be right there shining His light on the path.

PASSAGE: John 3:21 - "But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.”

PAUSE: Jesus came to expose the deeds of darkness. Jesus loves us and was sent to set us free from darkness. When we embrace Jesus as the Light of the World, we walk in truth and show the world that we are followers of Christ.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for the opportunity to be true to who you created me to be. Today, I commit myself to avoid darkness and to walk with Jesus.
