From Darkness to Light

Devotional

Just as a newborn baby gradually develops awareness of their surroundings, our spiritual journey begins in darkness before we encounter Christ's transforming light. This initial awakening marks the beginning of an incredible adventure - one where we move from spiritual infancy toward maturity. Like physical growth, spiritual development doesn't happen overnight. It requires nurturing, guidance, and most importantly, active participation in our faith community. Each step forward, no matter how small, moves us closer to becoming who God designed us to be.

Bible Verse

And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ. - Ephesians 4:11-12

Reflection Question

What specific moment in your spiritual journey marked a significant step from darkness into light?

Quote

Someone who is a disciple of Christ knows and follows Christ. They have a commitment to Christ. They know him, they're following him. They're constantly changed by Christ.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for bringing us from darkness into your marvelous light. Help us embrace each stage of spiritual growth, trusting that You are continuously working in our lives. Guide us as we take steps toward maturity in our faith. Amen.
