“This is the crisis we’re in: God-light streamed into the world, but men and women everywhere ran for the darkness. They went for the darkness because they were not really interested in pleasing God. Everyone who makes a practice of doing evil, addicted to denial and illusion, hates God-light and won’t come near it, fearing a painful exposure. But anyone working and living in truth and reality welcomes God-light so the work can be seen for the God-work it is.”
John 3:20-21 MSG – A verse of the day from the Bible presented in Eugene Peterson’s contemporary version called The Message. Accompanied by a personal reflection below.
Hiding what we are not proud of is an instinctive human quality. But when you are a believer of the one who has said, “I am the Light of the world,” and when you believe that same light now dwells within you, should you not be mindful of this great life-altering truth and try everyday to illuminate your immediate world with the light that dwells within you? Should you not feel privileged to do that? Not to mention a great sense of gratification in the knowledge that you are a vessel to hold this light and are now a source of the light yourself?
