  O Lord, You are my light; yes, Lord, You light up my darkness.

2 Samuel 22:29

Make no mistake there are dark areas in all our lives; hidden corners of our souls where dark thoughts and deeds just wait to be released.

We may hide these secret places under a mantel of self-righteousness disguised as holiness, or perhaps we try to hide them from fear of rejection, not only by man but by God himself.

Maybe we keep them locked away deep down in the recesses of our being, afraid that if we open that door they would just overpower us, or maybe we are just one of those people who don’t seem to be able to hide our dark side from the world at all, causing us much heartache and self-doubt regarding our Christianity.

Any of these sound familiar? It does to me!

No matter which of the above applies, we have an all knowing Lord and Saviour who is able to light up the darkest chambers of our lives.

And little by little, as we allow Him to explore our dark places with His love, mercy and grace, the chains of darkness that so enslave and torment us at times, will fall away.

It may take a day, it may take a lifetime but know this, our God is not a quitter, He finishes that which He starts and He will complete the work that He has started in your life!!!!!!

Where could you ever find a greater love than this?

Stay fervently focused

Much love
