The world we live in is filled with darkness. Often we turn a blind eye to what is happening around us. There is often no difference between right or wrong. People fall prey to making compromises. What once pricked our conscience fails to have any effect on us now. There is no place for guilt. Many have lost God-consciousness in their life. There are little things we do in our daily life without our knowledge that hurts others and above all God Himself.
Jesus is the light of the world. We need His light to see our stains. In Him there is no darkness. A small flame is enough to remove darkness. How much more the light of the living God! Darkness cannot prevail when Jesus is the light of our life. He throws His light on places where we fall and sin. He gives us His Holy Spirit who speaks with us with a gentle voice and shows us the way we should walk in. The Holy Spirit convicts us when we do something that displeases God. John 16:13 says, "But when He the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth..."
There might be a lot of darkness in your life. You may lock yourself up within a box, refusing to come out. Caught in the trap set by the devil. Always believing his lies that you have no place in the light. He is constantly trying to hold you in the darkness of the past, fear, regret, guilt, shame, depression and loneliness. But through Jesus we have dominion over sin! Isaiah 53:4,5 says, " Surely He took our pain and bore our suffering.. He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities: the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed..." 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, " God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God."
When you give your life to Jesus and believe that only He can set you free from all your bondage, sin can have no control over you. Confess and repent. Do not continue in sin. Wash yourself with the word of God everyday. The blood of Jesus will cleanse you from all your sins. Oh how we need Jesus! He fills us with the joy of salvation! He is the author of life! John 1:9 says that He is the true light that gives light to everyone. Colossians 1:13,14 says, "For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."
According to 1 Peter 2:9, " You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light." Let us live in His light to see us more clearly. Let us live in His light to shine His light on others. The light of God will outshine all darkness. Let us walk In the light of Jesus.
