"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
-matthew 5:14-16
Nienk & I were talking yesterday about how cool LIGHT is and just the concept of light and how photography is built upon light. It's amazing because God the Father is LIGHT. And in turn because we have the Holy Spirit in our lives, we are the light of the world. And the coolest part about it, is darkness is defeated by light. Darkness canNOT defeat light, but light will ALWAYS triumph over darkness.
"For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them."
- ephesians 5:8-11
And my FAV:
"Finally, be STRONG in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this DARK world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
- ephesians 6:10-12
I'm glad Nienk got me thinking about these things, because it is a really cool concept if you meditate on it. The Lord blessed us with a beautiful Fall sunset during our conversation of light, and I just want to echo Pastor Mike by saying "KEEP it in the LIGHT."
