Exposing Light

Light is comforting, but it also exposes. This is radical, because most of the world around us now echoes our own distorted voice. Most of the world is an electronic mirror, reflecting back the thing you need the least — a whitewashed version of yourself. But God’s light is different. It reveals the truth, even when the truth is unpleasant. It is in the light of Jesus that we finally see what is actually in us, who we really are and what we really do. But do we want to see? Do we want that darkness exposed? Confess this morning what needs to be exposed in your life. Then tell that to a trusted friend and ask them to pray with and for you.
