Jesus Brings Us Out of Darkness

John 1:9 This was the true light that enlightens every person by his coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him. Yet the world did not recognize him.

11 He came to his own creation, yet his own people did not receive him. 12 However, to all who received him, those believing in his name, he gave authority to become God’s children, 13 who were born, not merely in a genetic sense, nor from lust, nor from man’s desire, but from the will of God.

14 The Word became flesh and lived among us. We gazed on his glory, the kind of glory that belongs to the Father’s unique Son, who is full of grace and truth. 15 John told the truth about him when he cried out, “This is the person about whom I said, ‘The one who comes after me ranks higher than me, because he existed before me.’”

John 8:12 Later on, Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” — John 1:9-15 and John 8:12 | International Standard Version (ISV) The International Standard Version of the Holy Bible Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.

Pursue what matters most

In the book of Romans, Paul begs Christians to give their entire lives over to God because God sacrificed everything for them. Jesus gave up His life so that we could experience His unending love and grace. We cheapen His gifts if we refuse to align our lives with the way Jesus lived.

But we give our lives to God by making Him the one thing we pursue above anything else.

So here are 5 steps you can practice—right now—to help you put God first.

Give thanks

“We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks, for your name is near. We recount your wondrous deeds.”

Psalms 75:1 ESV

Right now, take a moment to thank God for what He’s already done for you. Reflect on His faithfulness, and recount the stories you have seen and heard of His wonderful power.

Spend 5 minutes in silence

“Abide in me, and I in you.”

John 15:4 ESV

Abiding in Jesus starts with stillness. So right now, pause, take a deep breath, and give anything concerning you over to God. Spend 5 minutes centering your heart on the One who matters most.

Remember Whose you are

“You are not your own, for you were bought with a price.”

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV

God loves you. The price He paid for you cost Him everything. So remind yourself of Whose you are, and reflect on some of the things God says about you.

Meditate on God’s Word

“Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day.”

Psalms 119:97 ESV

One of the best ways to find out how Jesus wants you to live is by spending time in Scripture. As you do, ask God to speak to you through His Word about what His will is.

Focus on what is excellent

“…If there is any excellence … think about these things.”

Philippians 4:8 ESV

You have been given the mind of Christ. If you’re not sure what you should think about, try asking yourself: What is praiseworthy? What thoughts and actions would honor God?

Make a list of whatever comes to mind, and pursue those things.

By practicing these steps every day, you can create habits that will help you pursue intimacy with God every day, and put Him first above everything else.

think9gn abt girl sam gets me so giddy i feel light headed. thinking about her stealing some nail polish one time when they go thrifting. waiting till dean and john are asleep and shakily painting her nails by torchlight under her covers. its not like theyd mind, this is just something she wants for herself, you know? she obviously doesnt do the best job, it's her first time, but she doesn't really care. she had fun doing it and loves the way the light reflects off the color (some sort of pink probably, whatever was closest to the front). dean teases her for being a pretty little princess but still helps her pick off the polish thatd gotten all over her fingers. maybe he holds her hand more often for a week or two, pressing little kisses into it whenever possible. she paints her nails whenever she can after that.

#in my mind this is when shes abt 7-8 and deans 11-12 #this could also obviously be transfem!sam world but with more hiding it and Yes actually john would very much mind if he found out #sorry. im talking abt her more already ilove you girl i love you #youre real to me in my soul

[moonlight-fan2008]

Moonlight rewatch for millionth time

Episode 8 random thoughts and feelings I had while rewatching again: cause I’m bored and have nothing else to do or watch. And I love this show

Unfortunately Shepherd’s followers would be (and are) a thing in real life. Like I know why people like him get followers but still like why?

I wish we got to explore more of Audrey’s relationship with Beth in later episodes just like “oh I spoke to Audrey the other day…” I’m hoping she was able to recover and finally get the rest she needs

Audrey “I just want to feel safe” followed by Beth immediately taking her to Mick

Again so sad humans are buttholes and torment survivors of heinous crimes like geez what’s wrong with people

Mick’s face after Beth told him she always felt safe after being kidnapped

He looks like he’s about to come clean then decides against it

I know Morgan/Coraline was just testing the waters so to speak to see how Beth and Mick feel about each other but even Lola and now Audrey pick up on the budding romance between them

This is also the second episode in a row that Josh is missing from and when Audrey asks if there’s anything going on between Beth and Mick. Beth gives a cheeky little smile and an eyebrow raise then is like oh yeah Josh when asked about his toothbrush. Again making it obvious to me that the writers always knew Beth and Mick were going to be together (or maybe I just have my shipping goggles on)

I like Beth’s home decor there’s a boho/natural vibe to it.

“Wow me without my checkbook” sassy pants

“I did nothing illegal” uh I’m pretty sure putting people’s address on the internet and suggesting someone “off” then is illegal

I like how Mick uses his pretty privilege from time to time to get people to help him or do something he needs

You now that I think about it I don’t think Father Garza’s name was ever on that list that was sent to Ben Talbot, maybe since he was a priest he was not on the radar but Donnavan Shepherds name was on the list

“That’s Spanish by the way… for keep her out of my stuff”

I like how Mick hesitated to take the machete with him and doesn’t take it but that end biting him in the butt later on

What’s through the gray door Mick?

I also wish we got to see more of his house. Like we know he at least has two bathrooms upstairs as he took a shower in one and Coraline took a shower in a different one in episode 9

36 years since Mick’s last confession which makes that 1971 so he would have been a vampire at that time. I wonder what happened to make him go to confession and also have that be the last time. I’m basing that off the fact that this episode happens in 2007 same time it aired (not exact date but generally around that time)

I wonder what the other papers were in Beth’s file, some looked like filers of some sort

I like how Mick instantly knows that something is wrong just because Beth’s voice sounds off

Adios psycho it wasn’t fun.

Together by the Kin was such a good choice for this scene

I wonder how much money Mick shells out for his loft

Second kiss

“Keeping In Step with Christ” This 1-minute devotion explains why Christ told us to take His YOKE and 4 ways we can make sure we're doing it:

We always get out of step when we try to bear our own burdens, solve our own problems, and operate in our own power.

We need a yoke* that connects us with Christ so we can move in step with Him:

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30).

Yoked to Christ, we walk where He walks:

1. Dwelling on His Word:

“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly” (Colossians 3:16a).

2. Rejecting popular worldly philosophies:

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ” (Colossians 2:8).

3. Following His purposes:

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10).

4. Walking in His power and strength:

“I can do all this through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13).

Jesus says, "Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be" (John 12:26).

Best of all, when we move in step with Christ, we find rest for our souls.

-----------------

*Yoke: "zygós – properly, a yoke; a wooden bar placed over the neck of a pair of animals so they can pull together; (figuratively) what unites (joins) two people to move (work) together as one."

For a deeper understanding of taking Christ's yoke:

•Which yoke

•Yoked but unburdened

•Learn from Him

•Jesus invites us to come take and learn

•Come

The Light of Life

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. 14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. 15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. 16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. 18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. — John 8:12-18 | Cambridge Paragraph Bible (CAMB) Cambridge Paragraph Bible, by Scrivener, Frederick Henry Ambrose, 1813-1891.

Prayer:

God, strengthen me with the hope of Your bright light. Pierce through the darkness that tries to keep me from seeing You. Thank You for being the light of the world. I do not have to fear the darkness, because you are with me. In Jesus' name, Amen.
