Walk in the Light

🌿ENCOURAGING MONDAYS — December 15, 2025

💛Good Blessed Encouraging Monday, Family, Friends & New Encouragers!

Today’s message is entitled:

✨“Walk in the Light”

📖SCRIPTURE READING — 1 John 1:1–10 (NLT)

1 We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning,

whom we have heard and seen.

We saw Him with our own eyes and touched Him with our own hands.

He is the Word of life.

2 This one who is life itself was revealed to us,

and we have seen Him.

And now we testify and proclaim to you

that He is the one who is eternal life.

He was with the Father,

and then He was revealed to us.

3 We proclaim to you what we ourselves

have actually seen and heard

so that you may have fellowship with us.

And our fellowship is with the Father

and with His Son, Jesus Christ.

4 We are writing these things

so that you may fully share our joy.

5 This is the message we heard from Jesus

and now declare to you:

God is light, and there is no darkness in Him at all.

6 So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God

but go on living in spiritual darkness.

We are not practicing the truth.

7 But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light,

then we have fellowship with each other,

and the blood of Jesus, His Son,

cleanses us from all sin.

8 If we claim we have no sin,

we are only fooling ourselves

and not living in the truth.

9 But if we confess our sins to Him,

He is faithful and just

to forgive us our sins

and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

10 If we claim we have not sinned,

we are calling God a liar

and showing that His word has no place in our hearts.

🌿ENCOURAGING MONDAYS REFLECTION — “Step Back Into the Light”

Family… this passage is a powerful and tender reminder

that God is always drawing us back to Himself.

John says:

“We saw Him… we heard Him… we touched Him.

He is the Word of Life.”

Jesus is not distant.

Not theoretical.

Not imaginary.

He is Life revealed — and He is still inviting us into His light today.

🌿And here is the truth we stand on:

God is light — and in Him is NO darkness at all.

🌞Where His light is:

confusion lifts

heaviness breaks

guilt dissolves

clarity comes

joy awakens

fellowship deepens

cleansing flows

🌿To walk in His light is to walk in:

• honesty

• renewal

• surrender

• cleansing

• spiritual alignment

• and steady peace

Not perfection —

but truth.

Not pressure —

but presence.

🌿ENCOURAGING THOUGHT FOR TODAY

If you’ve been feeling:

• spiritually tired

• disconnected

• distracted

• inconsistent

• weighed down

• or simply far from God…

You are not rejected.

God is not out of reach.

He is whispering:

“Come walk in the light with Me.”

His light does not shame us.

His light heals us.

🥗21-DAY TEMPLE CARE CHECK-IN (FINAL)

We are approaching the finish line — December 1–20.

No guilt.

No condemnation.

Just growth.

However it’s been for you:

consistent

on-and-off

modified

or beginning again

You are still making progress.

🌿And remember:

When our hearts walk in the light, our habits follow.

Finish these last days with grace, hope, and honesty before God.

Your body is a temple.

Your choices are worship.

Your kitchen is ministry.

And the Lord is walking with you.

As we finish strong, remember that walking in the light also includes bringing awareness to what we place in our bodies. Many of our daily foods contain hidden sugars, hidden sodium, and additives our bodies were never created to handle. And often, the only reason we choose less-healthy foods is because they’re convenient.

But clean convenience exists too — simple swaps, mindful labels, and choosing “fresh, cold, or hot” options that honor your temple. Stay connected on all my Digital Ministry Platforms for swap ideas, especially my TempleCare page and my Kitchen of Healing Page on my Website. See all Links below.

🙏🏼CLOSING PRAYER

“Lord, thank You for being Light—

pure, steady, unfailing, and near.

Bring our hearts into alignment with You.

Shine on every place within us

that needs clarity, healing, and renewal.

Help us to walk in honesty before You,

and fill us with strength for the days ahead.

Cleanse us.

Guide us.

Renew us.

And keep us in Your holy light.

In Jesus’s powerful, majestic name

we praise and pray,

Amen.”

Much love for you all! Have an amazingly Blessed day and week! 💛
