God Is Light

"This is the message we have heard from him and declare from you: God is light; in him there is not darkness at all." 1 John 1:5

 Light represents what is good and true and holy. Indeed light personifies GOD. In His presence there is no darkness, not even a shadow for He is light! When we go into the presence of the LORD, His light does its work in our lives, it exposes our sins. Thank goodness it does not end there, for once our sins have been exposed, we can confess them and Jesus' blood can be applied on our behalf. Once again we kneel in the presence of God and all that His light exposes is the beautiful robe of Christ's righteousness that covers us and our sins. How grateful we should be for His light in our lives! It is a light that brings life!

We are grateful Father that there is no darkness in you at all, that you are light. You are good and true and holy and we worship you. We pray, Father, that your light might expose to us our sins that we might confess them and be forgiven, as you have promised us. Thank you for Jesus' blood and its power. Thank you for your light. May it continue to do its work in our lives each and every day. Amen
