The Light Around Darkness

 Darkness has a way of blinding what God is trying to reveal. Help, healing, love, and direction may be all around you, but when you are surrounded by darkness it's difficult to see clearly. That is why we must seek God's light, because His light exposes truth, brings clarity, and helps us recognize what was there all along. It is mind blowing how words can take on an entirely different meaning once your mindset shifts. Things you once overlooked suddenly stand out. Conversations, memories, advice, warnings, and even scriptures can feel brand new because you are seeing them through healed eyes, greater awareness, and a different level of understanding. Sometimes the words never changed, you did.  Darkness can become comfortable. It allows denial, avoidance, hidden motives, unhealthy patterns, and distorted thinking to remain unchallenged.

The Light Of Truth

Have you experienced being in darkness, and that first burst of light hits your eyes, you instinctively shield yourself? Or maybe you close your eyes, squint, or lower your lids—not because you don’t want the light, but because it’s overwhelming at first. That’s what happens when you've been filled with light and refuse to return to darkness.

Your light doesn’t dim for others—it shines, illuminates. And those still in darkness may not be able to take it. It irritates, exposes, or even blinds them, not because you’re doing anything wrong, but because they haven’t yet adjusted.

Remember this, it’s not your job to dim your light ever. They’re the ones still in the dark. They need to adjust—not you.

They don’t hate you—they hate what your light reveals.
The truth makes them uncomfortable, so they turn away.
But hiding in darkness doesn’t make it go away.
Yes, truth is bittersweet…
But I’d rather live free in the light than stay shackled by a lie.

I don’t live to please people.
I live to please God.
And that means walking in truth—even when it costs me.
