darkness

Darkness would have us think that death is a friend. That aligning ourselves can make it less scary, can take the sting away, can make it harmless, something to even be desired. But this is based on a lie. Death cannot be our refuge. Death is not a hiding place. Death is not the place we can run to for safety.

Light and Life are our safe place. One of God’s names is Life. And since He is Life, and the creator of life, He longs for us to have life…and life to the full! Nothing held back. No good thing withheld. Because ultimately, He is that good thing. And He freely gives us Himself. He laid down His life, so we can have life. Forever.

Death has been defeated. The sting of death has been dulled. But it has not been made our friend. We were not created for death, for endings, for disconnect. We were created for life, for forever, for the sweet communion of togetherness.

If God is Life, and He came to give us life to the full, and you are hearing the voice of death… let me ask you… where is that coming from? If God has Life for you and His words are life, then where are words of death coming from? Darkness is not your friend. Death is not your friend. The Light is! Step into the Light.

The native tongue of the devil is lies. Never trust a liar.
