Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Psalm 112:4 which says "A light shines in the dark for those who are good, for those who are merciful, kind, and fair." 

"A life with Jesus doesn't mean we get a free pass on earth. We aren’t exempt from pain. We aren’t exempt from quote on quote going through it. 

 

Being kind and fair may not get us a free pass to live life pain free, but it gives us something greater. 

 

It gives us a light in the darkness, and a hope to hold onto. It gives us a different perspective of pain. It humbles us. It makes us remember that we can't do this life on our own. 

 

You might be in the dark. You might be going through a tough season. You might have just gotten through one. 2020 was a tough year on a lot of us. But don't lose your will to be a good person. Society will tell us that it's easier to live a self-serving life. Society tells you to worry about yourself. Society tells you to drown your problems in other substances. It's all one big fat lie. 

 

Jesus didn't promise us being good was easy. But being good and being kind is the medicine you need. So don't lose your will to be good. Commit to being good. Care for others. Extend grace, extend kindness. Even when your world is falling apart. Because the next time you are in a dark place, if you look to Jesus, you'll find a light shinning on you."
