A Radiant Life

If you are filled with light, with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant, as though a floodlight were filling you with light.” (Luke 11:36 NLT)

I have to say that I long for my life to be radiant. The more light that is in a room the more radiant that room becomes. The same is true for a person. Light can be equal to love in this case. For in reality this verse is not talking about natural light as in a light bulb, but a spiritual light as in love and truth.

Dark corners exist in all of us if we are honest. For the believer the goal is becoming more like Christ which in turn displaces darkness. For light and darkness cannot reside in the same source. The more I humble myself and repent and turn from my wicked ways the more light enters in. The more I love my family as Christ loved the church the more victorious I become. The more I love others and display kindness, generosity, patience, peace, and servant hood, the greater that light becomes. I want my whole life to be radiant.

Life is short. We have one chance to live to the fullest. I am choosing the narrow path that leads to life. The world is full of darkness and majority of people walk in darkness. The darkness is not an actual dark as in night, but it refers to sin and evil. We are all born in darkness or sin, and therefore need to be reborn spiritually in light (Christ love) to experience true freedom. I encourage you to be light and walk in light. Not a light that comes from yourself but a light that comes from God Himself. May you be that floodlight completely filled.
