John 1:4 — Life That Lights the Way
Scripture
“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” — John 1:4
Quiet Reflection
Life doesn’t start with our effort or end with our limits—it springs from Christ. His life is not only breath in our lungs; it is light for our path. Where fear blurs our vision, His life clarifies. Where weariness dims our hearts, His life brightens. The same God who kindles sunrise over the pasture can kindle courage in us, one faithful step at a time.
Sanctuary Lens
At Dalo Acres we see this verse in miniature: rest brings back appetite, trust returns with gentle handling, and light follows life. Healing isn’t flashy; it’s faithful. Christ’s life is the steady flame that outlasts the wind.
Devotional Thought
Christ doesn’t hand us a lantern and walk away—He is the light. Draw near to Him and you won’t just “get through” the day; you’ll see the day differently. His presence reveals what’s true, exposes what needs mending, and warms what’s gone cold.
Practice for Today
Pause (1 minute): Breathe slowly and say, “Your life is my light.”
Name one shadow: a worry, habit, or wound. Invite Christ’s light into it.
Do one small mercy: a kind word, a patient response, or an act of care—let His light travel through you.
