Let me be honest with you. I haven’t always been honest.
Sometimes I’ve been downright devious and duplicitous. (Great word to use for something not great at all.)
One thing I can say about such moments is that it feels heavy. It feels like for whatever ‘gain’ I get from it is overwhelmed with a gnawing sense of loss in myself. I’m not free, I’m not better for it and I am not fully me.
What I love about the message we get from the love letter from John to the church is that God is light. I like that the light shines the way. I like the light puts us in a position to recognise the dark in us and hold onto this amazing truth …
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
I don’t have to be duplicitous. I don’t have to hide things and behave in a dodgy manner. I can enjoy life in the light and be made clean from the darkness in me.
As long as I remain a Light walker.
For His Name’s Sake
Shalom
