                                 His Light is Pure
Matthew 6:22-23
Your eye is a lamp for your body. A pure eye lets
sunshine into your soul. But an evil eye shuts out
the light and plunges you into darkness. If the
light you think you have is really darkness, how
deep that darkness will be!  (NLT)

     When God's children look purely upon the goodness of the LORD, letting the Son shine into their souls, they find peace and hope in difficult circumstances, because they know that no matter what, they are safely in His grip.  But people who take in the evilness of this dark world are shut off from God’s Light and if continued, slip even deeper into a darkness far removed from God. It is our fallen human nature to hide our sinfulness, which leads into a double life and worse. And the more evil we put into our minds and hearts, the darker our soul becomes, until it becomes so dark that we can't see the way out. But when we cast our gaze upon the Lord with pure eyes, we always find Him; the Light of Life that helps us see through the darkness.  Looking through evil eyes, we see nothing but darkness. 
     The sin that you enjoy for a while may satisfy your evil lusts with its instant pleasure, but if it remains hidden, it will only lead to the three dire D’s: Darkness, Death, and Decay.  The world is infected with the wicked, evil ways of Satan—temptations that come straight from darkness of Hell—a darkness that destroys lives and kills the soul.  The only Hope anyone has of escaping the evil that is consuming this world, my friend, is through the Light of God’s saving grace found in Jesus Christ, the Light of the World.   Without Jesus, we remain blind and lost, searching for something to make us feel good, unaware that we slipping deeper into the abyss of darkness; that bottomless pit, called Hell.  Don’t be one of the many to deny or ignore the only Light that will save your eternal soul.  The little and temporary pleasure that this fallen world gives are not worth the price you will eventually pay for it.  And that price is the forfeit of your eternal life, forever separated from the Light of God’s glory.

                                      A Whisper of Hope  
Be careful, My child…for the world is filled with deceit—lies from the Enemy that will suck you into the darkness before you know it.  Always live in the Light, looking through pure eyes.  The darkness that is consuming this world cannot exist in the Light of God where you are safe.

Romans 13:12
The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. 
So don’t live in darkness.  Get rid of your evil deeds.  Shed them
like dirty clothes.  Clothe yourselves with the armor of right living,
as those who live in the Light.  (NLT)

                              So be careful how you live,
              not as fools but as those who are wise.
                              (Ephesians 5:15)
