George Jones sang a song called “Where Did the Sunshine Go.” He asked where is the love I used to know? Where did the Sunshine go? Where is the one I needed so.
Where has the light gone? Our world is engulfed in darkness. According to Isaiah 9:2, “The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine.” The Apostle John tells us that, Jesus came into the world to bring light and life. Unfortunately, as we read in John 3:19-21, the people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you are a child of the light and the day. 1 Thessalonians 5:5. You do not belong to the night or to the darkness. Aren’t you glad as a believer your eyes have been open. You don’t have to stumble around in the dark. God has revealed himself and His great love for you.
Are you confused, stumbling through life, bumping into objects in the dark? John says, “walk in the light” so you will know where you are going. John 12:35. Friend, you don’t’ have to be in the dark. The light (Jesus Christ) has come, and His word is a lamp to our feet. Psalm 119:105. But the clock is ticking, come before it is too late.
The more we spend time in the darkness, the more comfortable it becomes. Your eyes will adjust, and you will begin to accept things you never would have before. In Matthew 5:16 we are told to let our light shine before men. Darkness and light have nothing in common.
Will you join me in offering them light? Let’s not hide our lights under the basket but hold them up high so that they will shine brightly in our communities. Bringing light to the entire city.
