My Light

John 12:35. “Jesus replied, ‘My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going. Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light.’”

You often cannot understand how so many are blind to the truth that surrounds them. You are not able to fathom how they will believe all the lies and none of my truth. But, they are in complete darkness. Remember the time you were in a cave, deep underground, and they turned off the lights? Remember how astounded you were that you could put your hand directly in front of your face, but the darkness was so complete you could not see it? That is this darkness. The enemy has so entrapped people that they are in utter darkness, but they do not know it. They have been lulled over many years to believe that the darkness in which they live is actually the light, it is the right way to live, it is the loving way, it is the only way. You, however, live in the light of truth. It can be harsh and ugly, but it is the truth and it is the reality of your world. The darkness is plush and has rounded edges and does not stab ones eyes. The light stabs ones eyes – and consciousness – and therefore the heart and soul. But it also purges. It purges darkness and wrong thinking and wrong living and wrong beliefs. You choose the painful path of living in reality. Others choose the enveloping darkness – the lies and falsities and vagaries and self-indulgence of not seeing objective reality and truth. Stay the course. Many will have their eyes opened. Not all, but many. And they will need those of you grounded in me – in my truth, in objective reality – to help them navigate their new world – the real world. (2021)
