It's been a long time... since I ran to the dark... lights out... door shut... darkness outside the window...
I let it cover me... brooded... about what had been said to me... unfairly...
No tears... just dark...
The one who wounded... entered... turning on the light... not looking for me... but for something else... and out of the darkness... came anger... biting back... getting my say... no patience extended to this one I know does not walk in the Light... the evening continued... the mood gray...
Thank God... He had something to teach... from this experience... in... and with... the dark...
- When in the dark... light... irritates...
- Out of the dark... comes only... more dark...
- Despite the Light... in my life... there is still MUCH dark...
This morning... God began a new lesson... and yes... I apologized... sincerely seeking forgiveness from the one who injured... the loved one who lives in the dark... whose verbal attack... was sparked by the combination of my words shining light on him... but coming out of a heart not completely right... void of respect...
"...This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 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." ---Jesus
John 3:19-21
I choose to come into the Light... let God teach... admonish... discipline... and make the way... for Him...
For you were once darkness,
but now you are light in the Lord.
Live as children of light (for the fruit of light
consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)
and find out what pleases the Lord.
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness,
but rather expose them.
Ephesians 5:8-10
Expose the fruitless deeds of darkness... even if they are your own... especially... if they are your own...
