1 Corinthians 4:5
At noon, with the sun shining brightly,
would you need a flashlight to find your way home? Of course not. But we would need the light in the
night. For without light, we would all
be blind, seeing nothing, cannot do anything, stumbling in the dark and living
forever in pitch black darkness.
A sinful heart, similarly, is a heart
hidden in darkness. That heart is
detached from God, not seeing the light, cannot do anything good, stumbles
easily to temptations. Darkness represents
what is evil that turns anything good into bad.
Such is in the heart of men. Such
is the heart of every men. Such is the
heart that Jesus wants to bring to light.
God is light and God is good. Light symbolizes what is good, holy, pure,
and true. The light shows us both the
good and the bad in our world. But when
we walk in the light, all of life is revealed to us, and the same Light invites
us to live a full life in and with the Lord.
For with God, there is no darkness.
To be in the light is to be in the presence
of God. To be in the light is to be
fully in God within our spirit, which lives eternally, and displayed through
the representation of our earthly body. As
believers in God, we must have Jesus Christ to be our force that gives us light
each day by believing in Him.
Darkness of the heart is evil. Learn to live our lives shining in His
radiance through Him. Ask God to enter
our hearts, and let His love shines through.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, like sheep who go astray,
we have wandered from Your paths of life and light. We have heard the Shepherd's voice calling us
by name, but we have turned instead to our own way. Show us your tender mercy; restore us in the
security of your fold. Fill us with your
Spirit, that we might bear glad witness to your saving mercy, revealed to us
through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen +
Come with joy into the presence of the Lord.
