Subject: Embracing the Dawn of Light: Walking in the Promise of His Guidance (06/20/'24)

Subject: Embracing the Dawn of Light: Walking in the Promise of His Guidance Dear Beloved, As we gather in this moment of reflection and spiritual awakening, let us turn our hearts and minds to the profound truth found in the dawn of each new day. In the beginning, the most splendid light rises at dawn, a symphony of colors that heralds the birth of a new day. The heavens awaken, draped in hues of promise and renewal, as the earth stirs beneath the gentle touch of morning. It is well to be up before daybreak, to feel the unity of creation, to breathe in the harmony of a world reborn. Once again, we hear the words of Jesus, our guiding light, speaking to us with clarity and purpose. "I am the light of the world," He proclaimed, His words shining through the deepest shadows. "Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." In this declaration, we find our own purpose and direction, the light infusing every moment with meaning. To be awake before dawn is to witness the dance of light and shadow, to see the world as it is meant to be. In the beginning, light so splendid rises, and we are invited to be a part of its radiant embrace. Each daybreak is a reminder of His promise, a call to step into the light and leave the darkness behind. In this light, our paths are clear, our steps guided by His divine presence. The darkness retreats, unable to withstand the brilliance of His truth. For those who walk in His light, there is no fear, no uncertainty. The light of life is our guide, our hope, our salvation. As the dawn breaks, we find our unity in Him, our spirits lifted by the morning's glow. In Jesus' light, we are made whole, our souls cleansed by the purity of His love. The beginning is not just a moment in time, but a continual rebirth, a perpetual dawn in the light of His grace. Let us rise with the dawn, our hearts attuned to the song of creation. Let us walk in the light of the world, never in darkness, always in the light of life. And in this light, let us find our true selves, our true purpose, our true home. May we embrace each new day with the hope and promise that comes from walking in His light. Blessings, Pastor Steven G. Lee
