Dark to Light

1 John 1:5-7 (NIV)

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 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.

Think about moments when you've felt like you've been in the dark. Physically. Emotionally. Or spiritually. We have all faced dark moments, days of sorrow where we were stumbling blindly through the night that we were living in. Think about how those moments came to be, and how they have affected you. Despite however great the darkness may seem, one promise always reigns greater than that darkness: Our God is Light. Eternal, everlasting light that has the power to rid our hearts of all the darkness that use to consume us. And once we allow God's light to come into our hearts, we have that eternal, everlasting light within us. While there will still be much darkness in the world around us, so long as God's light consumes your life, the darkness will not touch you and will have no power over you. Why? Because God's light is a powerful light that cannot be dimmed by even the greatest of darkness.

Talk to God about whatever darkness may be in your life and how it's impacting you. If you feel God leading you, ask Him to come into your heart and flood you with His powerful light. Come clean to Him of any sin that you feel you haven't brought to Him, and ask Him to purify you of that sin with His incredible light, because God is the only one who can take away your sin and make you a new creation in His light. Ask Him to guide you to live in this new life that He has brought into your heart. 

I pray that this empowers you to live in the new light that God has given you in your heart. I hope you all have a fantastic day! :)
