Walking in the light as He is in the light...
The light walk can look heavy, but His yoke is easy and His burden is light (Matt. 11:30).
The light walk is a life of transparency, sincerity, and honesty.
Recently, some Christian friends have fallen into the trap of addicting sin. These addictions and affairs are not God’s will for their lives, nor for the lives of their family and friends. However, even when confronted with the truth of their struggles, their first tendency is to hide. They want no one to know, not out of shame that leads to repentance, but rather because they have embraced the darkness. Only God can redeem these tragically sad situations. And so, we pray.
Exposure to the light allows for healing and growth.
Through faith, God offers the opportunity to repent and transform a life.
Only fear can grow in the darkness. Perfect love drives out fear.
Light shines and cuts through the darkness, even the flicker of a small candle of hope.
Faith, hope, and love. The greatest of these is love.
We love those who are hurting. We love the person, even when we despise the sin and darkness that has consumed their lives. And we recognize the temptations of darkness in our own lives.
The “light walk” does not mean that we walk perfectly, but it does mean that we choose to walk with Him who is perfect, the One who is the light (1 John 1:7-9).
7 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 cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
As we imperfect people navigate the light walk, and invite others to join us, the path is not always clear. Yes, we are promised that God’s Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Ps. 119:105), yet the “light walk” is not always fully illuminated. We are called to walk by faith and not by sight (1 Cor. 5:7).
I pray that you step into the light, even when it implies painful repentance.
I pray that you embrace the light, even when the light walk feels heavy.
I prat that you remain in the light, even when the path seems unclear.
May we all walk in the light as He is the light, walking by faith, not by sight.
