No more darkness!

Darkness makes us blind to the truth. When we live in darkness, we live by our own standards. We set our rules and soak in sin. The world we now live in is filled with darkness. People start making compromises just to have a sense of belonging. There is no difference between right and wrong. There is a huge sense of insecurity, depression and loneliness. We cling on to what we find in the dark. Our hope is not anchored. There's nothing that could give us an eternal peace and happiness as long as we float in darkness. One leads another but little do they know that they both are drifting towards nothingness. 

That is why Jesus came. He is the light of the world! Darkness cannot overcome His light and where He is, there no place for darkness! In Him we see ourselves more clearly. He makes us realise that we were looking for peace in the wrong place. Love from the wrong person. Hope from something hopeless. All along we've been holding on to something that we should've let go of long back! 

As you look at the paths you've taken, the trails you've left behind, a sense of shame grips you. But Jesus, wipes away that disgrace and gives you a fresh start. When you forget your past, surrender your present, then you've got a hope for your future. A new life in Him. In His light we have clarity and not confusion. Hope and not despair. Peace and not stress. Love and not loneliness. Laughter and not depression. In Him you have life and have it more abundantly(John 10:10). You are no longer a slave of darkness but a child of light( John 12:36). So forget the things of the dark and walk in the light. Allow Jesus in your heart. He loves you and will give you the love, joy, hope and peace you need, no matter what situation you are in! 

Light of the world!

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.
