Looking at John 8:12-20, Jesus is the light of the world. If you remember the commercial for Motel 6, it say "we'll leave the light on for ya" but do we just run to Jesus every once in a while if we need him and treat him like Motel 6 (expecting him to be there on our terms) or do we live like we need him everyday?

Scripture is full of people who struggled with addiction, affliction, and disgrace. We must face the fact that God is the only One who can give us fulfillment. Everything else is temporary.

Today's Scripture is found in John 4. We have all fallen short. We have all dealt with guilt and shame. Jesus wants to cleanse our hearts and help us to "go and sin no more" as we live our lives.
