Audio Version
1 John 1:7 (KJV) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
To walk in the light is to walk in the realm of perfect love. It is choosing to walk in the love of God regardless of the circumstance or provocation. In other words, we ought to walk in love at all times.
As we navigate life daily, this is a choice we must make – a decision to love in the midst of hate, to be kind even when you are treated badly, to be patient when you are being tried, to serve or to be served. This is a heart posture where the love of God guides our actions and reactions.
Walking in love means choosing to forgive those who wrong us, rather than holding onto bitterness and resentment, apologizing even when we are not wrong. It is giving up our rights for peace to reign, loving others unconditionally, showing kindness and compassion, and forgiving those who wrong us.
You do not lose when you choose to walk in love though it may sometimes feel that way. when you walk in love are walking in alignment with Christ, thus positioning yourself to continually experience the cleansing power of his blood, which washes away your sins and purifies your heart. Remember, love never fails, so the decision to love is positioning you for constant cleansing and constant victory. What a blessing!

PRAYER FOR NATIONS: GAMBIA
Gambia, the smallest country on mainland Africa, lies along the West African coast and is known for its hospitality and vibrant culture. Despite its peaceful reputation, many citizens face poverty, unemployment, and limited access to education and healthcare. Islam is the dominant religion, with Christianity as a minority, yet cultural traditions often overshadow true faith. There is spiritual openness, but shallow understanding and lack of strong discipleship persist. The nation needs a move of God that brings genuine transformation and hope to its people.
