Picture: Counsel #12 — Beacon Of LightCLi 22.1

From the beginning, Satan’s mission has been to spread spiritual darkness on Earth. While evil may seem dominant, God’s original purpose was for us to live with Him eternally. Yet, Satan constantly introduces counterfeits for every perfect gift God creates. The Lord desires His people to radiate light and positivity in their relationships, but social media—a human invention influenced by darkness—often dims the light intended to shine from God’s creation.CLi 22.2

Despite life’s challenges, we have the choice to dwell in God’s presence and draw from His unfailing love. We aren’t called to follow the crowd. As children of the King of Light, we know what is celebrated by culture is often condemned by God. Therefore, let God’s word serve as a lamp, guiding you along the path of righteousness and keeping your light bright amid worldly influences.^{[19]https://youtu.be/92aUkicl9iE?si=nzKqpkff3r83s3zU}CLi 22.3
