John 3:30 "Loved Darkness Rather than Light" (May 13)

John 3:19  "Light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the Light because their works were evil."  Lovers of darkness.  Lovers of themselves.  John 3:30 says: "He must increase but I must decrease."  Oh Light of the World, expose our dark corners and shine your Searchlight where it has been oh-so-dark.  What do we want more than the Light?  Why do we not crawl out of our darkness on our belly, on our face?  Why do I stay there.  God, you're so good.  Would you shine enough Light for us to take just the very next step to escape the trouble we are in.

  1. Blogger was down for some kind of maintenance thing. I tried to get on throughout the day yesterday. Sorry for the inconvenience. We're back on again.

  3. The Light of the World is the Light of our hearts. I kept popping back on here yesterday but saw where blogger was down. It truly is the best start to my day to be here thinking about one thing holy to take into my day, to just sit in His presence and light up those dark places in my heart.

    I was reading in James a few days ago and came to the conclusion unanswered prayer was due to either wrong motives or not asking at all (chapter 4) It takes some time to expose wrong motives but His Light is first of all, cleansing, pure and loving, and He will set us back on the right track. All we have to do is come to Him with our mess and lay it out before Him. He is faithful to answer.
