God's Light

In ignorance it is very likely possible to live in one's own cocoon of self; thinking all the while one is on the right track just because of not seeing any other better track. With this, one is easily deceived of his own blindness and is living in delusion without any realization of where he is, what he is and where he is heading to. It takes the mercy of God to be delivered from such self-deceit. This is the state of being in spiritual blindness. The only panacea I see for such case is the Lord's light to shine and expose the true nature of things.

The case applies mostly to spiritual blindness, and the most common victims are those who are independent and individualistic even in their spiritual pursuit and experiences; they are often right in their own eyes as they have biblical verses to back their standpoint, and would not be convinced otherwise, as they reckon it as from the Lord. To me, this is a "spiritual suicide" that many lovers and seekers of the Lord are ignorantly committing just because they do not know the Body nor see the Body nor live in the reality of the Body life. It takes the Lord's light and mercy to restored in the Body.

I am no exception as a victim of such. But the Lord's mercy has time and gain uses the members of the Body to rescue me and brought in God's light through fellowship. Recently I had this wonderful experiences of being self-cocooned and shone upon by God's light. While under God's shining I could see the true nature of things and thanked the Lord that His glorious shining light has rescued me again. This experience made me more desperate for God's light and fellowship in the Body. I reckon this as one of the greatest spiritual treasures God has bestowed upon us today- the church-life in the Body of Christ.

With these experiences, here a little, there a little, the Lord is patiently and gradually recovering the Body He desires so. To be a apart of the Lord's recovery is an untold priceless privilege, an honor and a great blessing. It is the sure mercy of the Lord that the Lord has recovered me into the fellowship of His Body. Hallelujah!   

O the Lord's light shining, how I treasure it! It saves me from myself again and again. This glorious light is a "second salvation" from the self. And how much my heart longs for more of God' light to shine upon me and through me.

Lord, may Your light continue to shine upon me, until my whole being glows with Your light! That I may ever live and walk in the light as Your son of light.
