Devotional Reflection
Truth shows itself through what it does and whom it seeks. Let's live as children of light and seek the Father, who dwells in glorious, unapproachable light, so that we can be the light of the world.
Prayer
Father of every heavenly light, I come before You with all my flaws, failures, and sins, and I ask You to gently correct me. Please pardon me and cleanse me through the shed blood of Jesus so that I may be blameless, holy, and spotless in Your eyes. Lord, I want to serve You and Your church rather than just ask for Your forgiveness. Please guide me toward being of use. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
What gives your life meaning? One clear way to find out is to go to Jesus and ask Him to search you and show you anything in you that is spiritually unhealthy or unholy. Opening ourselves up to the light of His scrutiny, to the truth of His Light, gives us an amazing sense of freedom. We have nothing to keep secret. Then God can do some truly amazing things in and through us because we don't have any bad intentions.
Prayer
Thank you, God, for giving me Your light through Your Son, who is the Light of the world. Please show me gently where I am weak, where I sin, where I am dishonest, and where I lie. I want to live my life only for You and only in front of You. In the name of Jesus, I ask for this in a humble way. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

Please show me how to become useful. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
