Light or Darkness?

Note: The word Bemay is a fictional name and the article doesn't contain a true life story of someone as it is fiction. 

I was born a Christian but neither did i know who Christ is nor did i know His ways, i only followed morals instead of the word and life of God for that was how i saw the system. My eyes were not open to what we call light and darkness. Only if i understood when the Bible said "The eyes of your understanding may be enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints," Ephesians 1:18. For while i was there i no not my identity. For all I know was that I am Bemay the son of who I am. 

I lived my life like i owned it, i mean i lived it like I'm the boss of my own life. A life that I felt was meaningful by my definition of it but was simply empty without a destination. A life that was deeply involved in all vices but could never be dealt with by any of the wisdom or foolishness of man because when "The wisdom of the wise keeps life on track; the foolishness of fools lands them in the ditch" which I'm never afraid of. For my eyes was filled with darkness and i was so blinded that I couldn't see that I was bounded.  

The cause of this were the choices i made because I was in darkness, bounded and directionless, negligent that I was empty.When i mean choices i meant things i did not only in the open but especially in the secret were the contents of my heart is unleashed into action without boundary . Which made me, Bemay not to realise the son of who I was meant to be but rather a son to a different entity. And i never chose to care or thought to care about what anybody says not even the one of whom i was his son for i wasn't seeing the light that he shines which could make me a different Bemay. I was always acting like the son of whom I was bound to be until who I really belonged to shone His light on me and I couldn't resist for there was that uniqueness about his light that made me gain my sight and free from every bound.

As i came to the light i knew my identity. Now my eyes was open to his word which gave me life 1Pet 2:9 was for me, making me realise the fear of the unknown wasn't for me for he said "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." Romans 8:15

Now I'm free for i know the truth now and it has made me free. For darkness could not comprehend light. I'm a new creature whose old things have passed away and now all things are brand new for me because i know the light who is the true vine and I am a branch that belongs too. 

Though I've crossed to the right side where I didn't think would be green at all but the grass was even greener. Though it is greener, i have to make sure it keeps getting green for Phil 2:12 told me how and in the process of making it greener I will go through persecution and hard times but there is joy in it unlike the way of the darkness. 

In this light i have received i need not to sacrifice animals for rituals, for someone died for me even when I didn't know him so i can have access to what I really have. I was told "I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me" to the extent that whenever I am sick "by his stripes i am made healed" and the plans He has for me are far isn't compared to what i ever got and what I could ever get when in darkness and bounds . 

I enjoyed reading the book (Bible) i found the light for when I read it from the chapters of the pentateuch to the chapters of History, wisdom, chapters of the prophet not leaving out the chapter of the gospel to that of apostolic history to the Pauline epistles, General epistles and the apocalypse. For the content in them edifies me, gives me life and helps me on the new path I'm treading on. For the words in them shall never depart from my mouth and my heart on which I meditate day and night. 

And i promised and decided never to forsake the gatherings of the believers which helped to make me realise and discover the light more, for their words are seasoned with Grace and hope which makes me safe and have a direction and purpose, not based on my judgments and that of whom I was bound to.

 

I've received this light and in him is freedom no bounds, no blindness but rather sight and freedom! And I'm not going to hide it. Will you come to the light or just stare at it or won't even bother looking at it. 

But i beseech you choose wisely and fast on whose side you are on...
