But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. – 1 Peter 2:9 (NLT)
OUT OF DARKNESS INTO LIGHT
A poem and essay by ILMA
What keeps you in the dark?
Is it a sin that continually lurks?
You can answer God’s call
He never wants you to fail or fall
You are chosen to be his follower
You can accept him and be his disciple
He called you out of darkness into the light
He wants the best for you in all you do in this life.

So many people continue to live in darkness because they don’t know any better. Some on the other hand purposely choose to live in the dark. God incessantly calls us to live in his will and in his light, but many people get stuck in the ways of the world. It took me many years before I gave up living in darkness. When I finally made a decision to choose God and stay in his light, my life flourished and blessings kept pouring.
The bible talks to us about our true identity in Christ. We are all brought into the light out of darkness by the sacrifice on the cross that Jesus Christ did for us.
PRAYER
Lord, keep me in your light.
REFLECTION
When did God deliver you from darkness?
