Light!

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. John 3:20‭-‬21 KJV

1. Actions speak. They reveal the contents of the heart. It does not matter what you tell yourself or how hard you try to convince others to see your point of view; it is usually obvious from what you do. The best intentions do not count; the slightest action most times does, and that is how reputation is built.

2. When your actions cannot stand the test of light, you have a problem. Can I hold my life up to the scrutiny of light? Would my life stand the test? Can I dare bring all my thoughts, intentions, motives, desires and lifestyle into the light? Can I bear the intense scrutiny of the One called  light?

3. Truth is a person and he is also light. You can't take one without the other. You can't claim to love Truth and walk in darkness; neither can you claim to love Light yet practice falsehood. To hold such a position is to be called a 'hypocrite' by God's standard, and you know what that means. If God sees you as something, it really does not matter how everyone else in the world sees you.

When the chips are down, and judgement starts, the applause and approval of the world fades away. Please be sure you are standing for the real deal; not the shifting, unsure foundations of the world. His time of favour is here.
