Listen to these words. I pray that we all realize just how much we need Jesus to save our lives. Stop running from the light of the truth! Pray Psalm 51…. When we sin, we sin against God alone. Don’t try to get anything right with someone else, before you are right with God. It will just keep creeping up its ugly head. Our repentance should be to get things right with Him before they can be right with anyone else in our lives. It will never work, because God DEMANDS, and deserves our highest praise!
I have always loved the light of day. Light that shines through a window at work can brighten up everything. There is something about a bright sunshiny day verses a gloomy dark day. I have so much more energy. I always want to get out and do something more than I do on gloomy dark days. But now that I have a relationship with Jesus, the same way I have joy and strength on a sunshiny day, I also have it on gloomy dark days. A song can rise up from the darkness and bring light to anything you are going through if you have Jesus in your life.
Job 35: 10 “Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs in the night?...... I can tell you personally, HE IS RIGHT THERE WITH YOU!
I would rather walk the rest of my life in the dark days with my Savior, than walk one day with the enemy. Sunshine, dark days, they are all the same when you have Jesus, and I mean TRULY have Him. No matter how dark life can get, when you hide your life in Jesus, trust Him, you have a light in you that will overtake any darkness.
Have you ever had a song in the night? Even though it seems so dark you can still sing praises. This is an amazing place to be with God, and I pray this is your heart’s desire.
I remember being in some dark places with the enemy, and I NEVER want to go back to it. There is no light at all with him. I remember telling Jesus I was so tired of hurting, and knowing I was hurting Him. I was desperate for Him to “Save my life.” I surrendered myself, and every ugly thing to Him. I have never been the same since. When you’re sorry about something, you change. You don’t go back to the very thing you are sorry about. Sin has no hold on me. I am by no means perfect, but no matter how much it hurts, I will continue to let Him have me and make me continually into His image. “Better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere” Psalm 84: 10-12.
Maybe you are one who chooses to live life your way because it’s easier than asking Jesus to change you. I can tell you, even though the sun is shining, you’re really still in the dark. Some people pray and want His light, but you’re still keeping one hand on the world. Deep inside, down in the deepest part of your heart, you try to hide what you’re ashamed of. You will even start to believe there’s no way that the pieces of your life that you hate are ever going to change.
Oh how you need Jesus! Give Him your broken heart. Lift it up and let Him empty you of all your foolish pride. No more running from the light of the truth. If you can’t stand living with the lies, there is FREEDOM when you realize how DESPERATELY you need Jesus to save your life.
Jesus will command the highest praise, and I stand in agreement with that. Even if it means losing close relationships with those I love. Psalm 97: 10, I will hate what is evil. If you don’t stand in the “Light” then you stand in the dark. You will find out one day that it is the loneliest, painful place to be. I pray it drives you to surrender your life to Christ. No more game playing, or holding on to someone else’s hand. Only “One” hand can save you and take you to freedom, Jesus, and only Jesus.
There is no other cure to hate what is evil and stay far from it, than daily communion with God. If you are with Him daily, and truly Born Again, it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to be at peace with sin.
