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)
