I Am the Eternal Light of the World

Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.
I am the eternal light of the world. My glory shines into the darkness beyond the outer limits of the earth. I am the omnipotent and omnipresent light of all the universe. I am the resurrected Christ, the divine presence behind everything that your eyes can see.
There is nothing that exists I did not create for I am everywhere you look. Unless you can see me in the least of all humanity in the most unlovely and those you think are most unlike yourself-you have not seen me.
I am the light of salvation that brings good news for those who live without hope. My life is a revelation of being, purpose, and meaning for all humanity. I came to heal the brokenhearted and to set the captives free. I came to release those trapped in the prison of their minds.
I know how it feels when it seems everyone, and everything is going against you. I came to give you hope when the world leaves you scared lost and hopeless. Don’t let your thoughts overwhelm you with feelings of self-doubt, disappointment, and discouragement. (Help with Discouragement and Disappointment)
It’s easy to harden your heart to escape the pain, but that causes your hope to fade even more. I know there are moments you feel the darkness has overcome my light. However, the light of my love is eternal and can lift you and carry you above life storms. (Being Aware of Gods Presence in your Life)
My power and grace are sufficient for you and in your weakness depend upon me, and I will give you the strength to overcome. I am both the lamb of God and the lion of Judah. Do not lose heart for I have overcome the world. I am the eternal light of the world in which you are my dwelling place forever and ever as sons and daughters in my kingdom.
Scripture:
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. John 8:12 NIV
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corithinians 12:9-10 NIV
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. Revelation 21:3 NIV
