Waking up can be disorienting at first. Even if you’re the stereotypical morning person, it still probably takes you a minute or two to go from fully asleep to fully awake. Opening your eyes as your alarm blares to see the light breaking into your dark room, you have to give yourself a minute to adjust. Then, after a moment or two, your eyes get used to the morning light, your body begins to move around, and you’re ready to step into a new day. In the same way, when we choose to follow Jesus, we begin to see things in a new light. Sure, it takes time to adjust to this new way of seeing, of living, of being. But over time, the light illuminates everything in a new way. Our choices, thoughts, relationships, words, actions, and more—all change when we let Christ’s light shine on us. It all changes when our faith becomes fully awake in Jesus.

This week, talk to a good friend, trusted adult, or your Small Group Leader about how you’ve seen the light of Christ wake up something new in you.
