#64 TO SEE...OR NOT TO SEE
How do we check to see if our eye glasses need cleaning?
We hold them up to the light. Hello....
Does that remind us of something?
LIGHT...EXPOSES...Darkness!
Sometimes we think our glasses are clean
Yet when held to the light it is a different story.
So it is in other areas of our lives
When we view from the brightness of God's Word.
This is not one of those poems that rhymes
But it is a poem with substance so read on.
I am not the only one that has to grow
Nor am I the only one who wears glasses.
Have you ever cleaned your glasses
Put them back on, only to discover
There is a spot you did not see.
I have, many times.
Have you ever been speaking with someone
And got distracted because their lenses were so dirty?
Come on....admit it....kinda makes you wonder
If they are that blind or don't care...
Do you see wrong doing in lives of others
Yet not see it in self?
Do you purposefully check periodically
In your desire to have a pure heart?
It is one thing to use a light bulb to expose darkness.
It is another thing to use the Word of God.
It is a living word. a sharp two edged sword
Dividing asunder the joints and marrow. Heb.4:12
If you do not wear glasses you are not off the hook.
You too need to do a spot check with the Word.
"God is no respecter of persons." Acts 10:34
Bottom line...
Okay, I don't think I have to belabor the fact
That we will see ourselves when we read the Bible.
God will reveal to us what the image is we project.
Is it of Him, or is it tainted, marred, even a little?
If He shows us something it is to help us
As we continue to raise the bar higher.
He exposes darkness and shows us how to do right.
Then we will increasingly be a bright light.
So when you clean your glasses, or sun shades
I do pray this seed that got planted
Will be recalled and you will ask the Holy Spirit
To teach, help, restore, as "in Christ" you decrease
And He becomes MORE!!
John 3:30 "He must increase, but I must decrease."
1John 1:5..."God is light and in him is no darkness at all." In fact, not even a shadow because there is no darkness in Him.
