Transform The Darkness

Word of the Day
Beloved, I am here to tell you many, many words of love in hopes that you won’t worry, fret or struggle so—in hopes you will experience the fullness of My delight as I interact in and through your life. You are indeed a light in the world and shall not be hidden.

Pursue Me, and as I pursue you, we will collide. The light will be so great; darkness will give away to complete visibility and revelation. Like two electric wires meeting, sparks will fly and fill the skies. July 4th will have nothing on us.

Know this; I want you to enjoy the process without fear or self-judgment. Just because a child can’t understand the total complexity of how and why of what the firefly is or does changes nothing. They simply delight with an unadulterated and pure faith. Simple complexity creates joy and mystery all at the same time.

Even knowing the how and why doesn’t negate or underestimate the beauty of how it lights up the night sky, nor does it dampen delight and simple faith at what simply is? If anything it only adds to the mystery of the One who created it.

Beloved, simplicity of faith is in knowing how much I love you regardless while resting in the complexity of My mysterious grace and its ability to keep you forever. Yes, you are My beautiful firefly and you truly light up My heart—My world.

The light in you is meant for the transformation of darkness and cannot be hidden (Matthew 5:14). As I pursue you and you pursue Me there will be many I long to bring into My kingdom watching. They will get off their porches of apathy and no longer be content to let the days of summer pass them by, while others abound in wonderment and discovery. They will join in the adventure, and before you know it, there will be so many fireflies no darkness can be found.

Come; let us discover the mysteries of one another, the mysteries of the Kingdom among gentle days of mutual habitation. Like I said, “The angels are in awe of you. And, I am in love with you. Are you convinced? I am.

“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden” (Matt 5:14 NIV)

Prayer
Lord, let Your light shine through me and all men shall see You and experience the glory of Your love. I choose to pursue you with uninhibited passion in everything I do and say. My mouth shall speak forth Your praise and the wonder of Your name wherever I go and in everything I do.

Help me when I feel afraid or daunted by any circumstance and fail to share your light or speak Your name. Teach me to understand and give me the revelation of the power of Your name that I might walk in the power and might of who You are. I pray that our relationship will indeed be like fireworks and cause those in darkness to be drawn to the light of Your glory.

I set my face like flint to walk with a simple faith and trust in the complexity of Your fullness. You have all I need, all I will ever, ever need. You are more than enough. May my heart always marvel at the mystery of who You are? May I always be curious and delighted at the same time as I ponder Your grace and mercy? Increase the passion within me till it becomes a flame to ignite every apathetic or complacent heart I come in contact with. Together we will fill the darkness with Your light and darkness will be no more. Amen

Reflect and Journal

  1. You are meant to transform the darkness. You are His light in the world, a city on a hill. If He says you are, well, you are. Come and agree with who He says you are, in spite of any past failures. Know this; the best is yet to come. In what ways have you been enjoying or disdaining the process He has you in?
  2. Ponder His mysterious grace and mercy and His ability to keep you.
  3. Reflect on your sphere of influence and how you can be a light in the darkness?
  4. The angels are in awe of you and He is in love with you. Write a devotion of love in response to this.

    Wait a minute, while I say a prayer!
