(Luke 11:34-36 NIV) “Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness. {35} See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. {36} Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on you.”
(John 3:19-21 NIV) “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. {20} Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. {21} But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.”
(John 12:46 NIV) “I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.”
(Ephesians 5:8 NIV) “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.”
The Lord says we have a choice to make. We can lurk in the darkness, or we can walk in light. We cannot love both. We who believe have His light, but when we hide it, the darkness grows -- inside of us and outside of us. We can become filled with darkness instead of light. Our eyes can get bad and our spirit can become dark. If we remain in darkness long enough, we become like the darkness and no longer reflect the light of Christ. Jesus, the Light of the world, did not die on a cross so we could continue to walk in the darkness of this broken world. Remember, light and darkness cannot dwell together. Wherever light shines, the darkness flees. Is your light shining, or is it covered up by something right now? Come out of the darkness and walk in the light of God. Live as a child of the light. This is the road to healing and wholeness. -- Friar Tuck’s Word of the Day
