This is a re-post from another blog I wrote last September 23, 2010
This is what we have heard from Christ: God is light, in him there is no darkness at all.[1 John 1:1-7]
Every time I hear the word "DARKNESS", what comes into my mind are the times that I fail to carry the light in my life. Pitfalls, failures, mistakes, weaknesses, shortcomings...sins- all of them appear in a row. I used to think sometimes that it is very hard to carry yourself the way you are when these "agonies" become a burden in your heart. Sins of the past? Nah, forget them. We all wanted to face what's for the future. Duh? Who cares what happened to you. They may never know. But wait, grudges can be painful and healing is the only answer.
It is only in our "woundedness" we become mature of the next steps. So, wounds should be healed, medicated, treated. And that happens in darkness for no light shed along the way. There are also sins that may keep on repeats. Sins that we don't like but we like to do. Thus, darkness comes and goes. We never know the beating of our heart. Whether it tells you to follow what's right or what you think may be right. Choices, choices, choices- and that may be not only between two's. In the end you have to decide the best one. But come to think of this, if you know you fell always on the same hole, look through it because you may need help from anyone who can accompany your lost morale.
God is the almighty light. I know. Light is always there and is always be. The shadows of sins are the culprits of why no light is streaking into our lives. Let the light of God spread to the depths of our soul. And it is only in forgiving oneself and others. Forgiveness breaks the shadows of darkness and restores the light from spark to flame. Pray in forgiving. Forgive yourself. Forgive others.Forgive the past. Forgive your common falls. Forgive your trespasses to God and his people.Lastly don't forget, share the LIGHT to others. God forgive me of my sins and to all persons I hurt yesterday and today. frence
