Do not shrink from the light of the Lord. My all-revealing light shines forth in the darkness exposing evil for itself. For one to stand in this light is not easy for many imperfections are revealed in its rays.

The rays seem unbearable to some, but to God’s children they are beacons lighting a pathway to eternal joy. The rays reveal many faults, many doubts and a multitude of imperfections. Their brightness would be blinding were it not for the love of God which softens the reflections.

God’s love cleanses, purifies and absolves His children from all guilt. Yes, you are declared holy by My hand which lifts you up out of the quagmire of life’s darkness and brings you into the everlasting light and life.

Think on these things, and do not shrink from the Light. It is a Light of love.

“Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world: he who follows me shall not walk in the darkness but shall have the Light of life.” (John 8: 12) Read Matthew 5: 14-16.
