We are familiar with the light shining into darkness — a powerful image we hold onto. But today’s Word takes it deeper: light can also rise out of darkness. And that light, the very presence of God, lives inside you. Even in the heaviest, most painful moments, there is a power within you that refuses to be crushed — a power ready to break forth.

Your setbacks, disappointments, and failures are not dead ends. In Christ, they become the raw materials of triumph.

Your setbacks, disappointments, and failures are not dead ends. In Christ, they become the raw materials of triumph. God uses what looks like defeat to build your greatest victories — victories filled with joy, peace, vision, and unstoppable hope. Every dark place is an opportunity for God’s light to explode into something new. So, stay connected to Christ. Trust Him fully. Because even in the darkness, you are being prepared to shine brighter than ever before.

CONFESSION

I am the light of my world; I bring solutions to my world always.
