Light and Darkness

 Last night I was walking home from a baking party, and it was dark.  Because it is good to be observant when walking alone, even in "safe" places, I was trying to do just that.  While I was doing so, the bold portions of these passages came to me. 
"And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.  For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.  But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” John 3:19-21 (NKJV)
"For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light  (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),  finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.  For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.  Therefore He says:
      “ Awake, you who sleep,
      Arise from the dead,
      And Christ will give you light.”  
See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,  redeeming the time, because the days are evil." Ephesians 5:8-16 Writing this, I just thought of this passage:
 "Do all things without murmurings and disputings: that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain." Philippians 2:14-16 (KJV)
The Bible tells us clearly that we need to keep our deeds in the light, with not even a hint of darkness. The dusk is where many of us stumble into utter darkness.  Let there be light!
