Ephesians
5:8
8 For once you were darkness, but now in
the Lord you are light. Live as children of light
Children are
often afraid of the dark. Sometimes
grown-ups are, too. The fright comes
from not knowing what is out there waiting for us--and just not being able to
see into the darkness. To remedy this
fear, usually just a night light is all it takes. Such a simple solution to a unnerving problem
makes me wonder what other simple solutions are out there to intimidating
circumstances.
God intends for
us to live in the light rather than to be afraid in the dark. He loves us and wants us to be able to see
clearly in the light and not fear the dark. In fact, God put Jesus, His own
son, on earth for us to reach out to the Light and take hold of it in our lives
and in our hearts. Yet so many people
still curse the dark and refuse to accept the light of Christ. Welcoming help from God and choosing light is
not always easy, but it is a choice that will make a real difference in our
lives. Casting away the darkness of
fear, prejudice, bigotry, and hatred will help the world to be a better, more
light-filled place to be. So for another song that I love. . .
