In the beginning, God made light and it’s a good thing, because without light we cannot see anything.
God didn’t need the light to see- since He Himself is already Light.
He created the light for our benefit.
Light is to shine into the darkness and open it up so we can see what needs to be done and fix things.
What do we do when there is a power failure? The first thing is we reach for the light switch so we can see to call the power company to alert them of the power failure! That’s how dependent we are on light.
There are all kinds of darknesses in our lives and world today.
If we can shine some light on them…enough to see and understand what is really going on, we might be able to solve the problem.
Darkness could just be a misunderstanding between people. If the light can be shined upon it enough so the real issue can come to the surface and be seen, perhaps the solution could be reached.
But…!
The nature of darkness is hiddenness, secrecy and fear. Fear of what if someone finds out?!!! What will it make me look like? How will I manage? Will I be rejected by my people, by my family, by my friends?
What will happen if the darkness is exposed?
Well, then it won’t be dark anymore. It will be light and you can see how to move forward. Everyone will be seeing the same thing so agreement can be reached.
What you can see is no longer hidden so you don’t need to fear it anymore, and once fear has lost its power, the problem can be talked about.
Don’t be afraid…step into the light.
It is shining for you!
