Light In the Dark

I was thinking today about how people who aren't really following in the right path in life find out where to go. Especially for those who are "christians" by name, but don't really live the life, but want to and just don't know where to look or what to look for exactly. I have heard that people try to find their way on their own, and i was thinking about if that would actually work or not. I feel that if someone is searching without a guidance then its like they are in the dark without a light and have no way of knowing where to go or what they are looking for. That is what makes Christians set apart from others, we are supposed to be the light to those who are wandering around in the darkness. The only way for them to find Jesus is for his light to shine through us as Christians. WE are to be the light that guides others to find the only way to the kingdom of Heaven. As it says in 1 John 1:7, "But if we walk in the light as He is in the light we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin." This is why we as Christians must show others that light of Jesus through our lives.
