Darkness is Passing and the True Light is Shining

1 John 2:8 “Yet I am writing you a new command:  Its truth is seen in Him and you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is shining.”

            Lord, up until You came and lived among us, we had only words to tell us what light should look like in our lives.  When You came, You exemplified what living as “light” should look like and how it should act.  The more we and truly LIVE as “children of light” , the more darkness will flee.  As Christians, we cannot just sing, “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine”, and live a dark life bringing more darkness into the lives of others.

            I am grieved, Lord, as You must be too, at the number of professing Christians who embrace very dark movies, music, TV shows, and video games and excuse it as just entertainment.  You have told us not to be conformed to this world but to be transformed by the renewing our minds, and have told us what to think on.  None of these things fit into the category of Light. 

            Lord, please send revival to Your church until the burning desire to be Your light in this dark world burns within each Christian soul.
