Dear friend,
As children of God we are the children of the light. God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. What, then, has light communion with darkness? (2Co. 6:14) To have communion is to have fellowship, to enjoy each other gifts and talents, delighting and rejoicing in each other's achievements. Light and darkness are just so opposite that no communion can be found between them. Where there is a little light presence, there must also be a little darkness driven away. If a place is full of light, then there can be no darkness there.
So, it can only be in places where we are still yet to be perfect that we can compromise with darkness. So in this present evil world, where men "loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil" (Joh. 3:19), that we Christian believers can, at times, compromise in our faith to our own hurt. We hurt ourselves by trying to balance on two boats in the water - one on Christ and the other the world. "Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness." (1Th. 5:5)
Children of light takes great delight in the Word of God because "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." (Psa.119:105) Walking in the light is to walk in a safe place as the light reveals the dangers that are around us and help us to avoid them. "The dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty." (Psa. 74:20) To walk in the light is to walk in love because God is both light and love. "Love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." (1Jo. 4:7, 8)
We become more sure in our steps as we walk in the light. "The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." (Pro. 4:19, 18) Christians must not be ashamed to live by faith and be fully assured of the love of God. All these come about as we grow in knowledge of our true and living God Who still governs this world gloriously.
If we follow Christ, we shall not walk in darkness. "I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness" (Joh. 12:46) "Ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light." (Eph. 5:8)
Are you trying to hide from the Lord like Adam and Eve did after the Fall?
