Where there is light, there is life.

I just came back from cell group meeting which just ended right before curfew. I almost didn't go because I was sleeping till 10 minutes before i left. For some strange reason, I decided to go although I was really close to continuing my sleep. However, I'm glad that I when because today's discussion was quite interesting and enlightening. Today's theme was Light. We played a game of treasure hunt where we were supposed to find glow in the dark stars which had pieces of paper attached to them. finally we had to join the pieces of paper which had questions relating to light and darkness together with bible verses. Mind you that we had to find the stars in an unlit room and they were strategically placed in places where their glow would not be obvious to the untrained eye. I remember feeling lost in the dark because I really couldn't find any stars and after awhile i felt bored with no sense of direction. But when i finally found a star, I finally found some excitement. But it was only temporary because the paper attached to it was meant for another group and the star was bound to lose its shine. I only felt better when the light was switched on. I think i can relate the feeling i felt while playing this game with what was trying to be delivered by Grace. The only way to feel secured is to make sure that the light is always shining and not let things block it, overshadowing you which may mislead you.
John 12:35-36
Jesus answered, "The light will be among you a little longer. continue on your way while you have the light, so that darkness will not come upon you; for the one who walks in the dark does not know where he is going. Believe in the light then, while you have it, so that you will be the people of the light.
