The true light

This morning God spoke to about His light and how He so desires me to get close to Him. 

  

¹³But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, ¹⁴for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."Ephesians 5:13-14

Only by God's light (Jesus) we are able to see our own sin. As we get closer to Him, our sin gets on our face and we finally see that we have done, said or thought something that does not please our amazing God. As I confess my sin (agree with God of my wrongdoing), ask for His forgiveness and repent of it (turn my back away from it), I get cleaner and become more like Jesus. God's light unveil our eyes for us to see Him! (Psalms 119:18) Only God's Holy Spirit can unveil our eyes for us to see what is not so obvious in our sight. 

As I get closer to Him and walk according to His will and purpose, I'll desire to be closer and closer to Him, because ²¹But 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 3:21) But if I continue sinning against God and living a life independent of Him I want to get further away from Him because "Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. (John 3:20) 

The light, Jesus, came to bring us out of darkness. Out of our everyday sadness, of our problems that consume us inside, because"The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it." (John 1:5)"The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it." (John 1:5) "The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.¹⁰He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. ¹¹He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. ¹²Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— ¹³children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God." (John 1:9-13) James says: "Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded" (James 4:8) "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."Ephesians 5:14 God is telling me to seek Him, to search His heart, that He will take me out of darkness. What an amazing promise and relief I find in our Jesus!

"The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it."
