From Darkness to Light

1 John 2:15

Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him.

The closer we are to the presence of God, the more we want to move away from things that do not edify. All worldly things no longer attract us as they used to. As much as sometimes you find yourself wanting to do that, your heart returns weighing your conscience and you can't, because that only reminds you of the darkness you were without God in your life and you return to the light. The further away from the presence of God, from the light that He emanates in our lives, the closer to darkness you find yourself, the more willing to sin, the more willing to do things that we know do not please our Father. The enemy approaches through gap left and sends you temptations that they know will make you fall, and your eyes begin to get used to the darkness again. Darkness that brings you emptiness and loneliness, anguish and sadness.

Galatians 6:14

As for me, may I never boast in anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world was crucified, and the world's interest in me also died.

Let us pray to remain firm on the path of light, to never leave the presence of God, so that the world does not attract us. On the contrary, so that we increasingly want to be like Christ was, with a heart full of kindness and love, doing good works, knowing the truth.
