Children of Light
“For
you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light…” Eph. 5:8
Dear Paul,
Thank you so much for your words of wisdom and
instruction on living as children of light.
It is a challenge to not sidestep into darkness. The dividing wall of hostility seems to only
thicken with resentment, bitterness and hatred.
Revenge seems the master of so many and things in the world seem to be
spiraling out of control.
Yet each morning I sit and wait to receive the Lord’s
gift of a new day and a fresh start. I
am a witness to the darkness of night being eclipsed by the brightness of
day. It is a reminder of God’s great
provision in my life and another opportunity to live for Him. This verse instructs me to live as light; to
be like a new day dawning and in doing so to expose the darkness. Love exposes hatred. Truth exposes deceit. Peace exposes chaos.
Fill me fresh today Lord to live this kind of life Your
word describes, so that without uttering a word, the light would expose the
darkness.
