3 comments, Apr 15, 2009“God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.”
(1 John 1:5-6)
I hate hypocrisy, Jesus.
But that’s how this Bible passage makes me feel – like a hypocrite.
How is it I’m able to do this right now – have “fellowship” with You – even though I’m battling “darkness” in other areas of my life?
O God!
I thought by now I would be stronger. Why am I still stumbling over sins that have tripped me up for as long as I can remember?
I don’t want to live a lie. I know where liars end up.
May the honesty You and I are experiencing right now…
…continue with blazing purity throughout every moment of this day.
