John 3:21-But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.” (New Living Translation)

To wake up to the dawn of a horizon is heralded by most as a spectacular sight. To lay in a sea of grass gazing upon a starry night sky proves the magnificence of the Earth’s wonders. Two amazing views that demonstrate the beauty and work of God’s hands. However, like every coin there are two sides. Thus, with all the beauty held within this world, why does ugliness run rampant throughout it? Well, because good deeds are overshadowed by the cloak of night. For “all who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed” (John 3:20). It is there that our thoughts become unencumbered. It is there where actions become emboldened to satiate our desires. It is there where our courage multiplies by 10, to commit an act that normally would lie dormant. Therefore, may we live with the blinds wide open to allow the SON of MAN to come shining in. Amen
