JOHN 3:19 “THIS IS THE VERDICT. LIGHT HAS COME INTO THE WORLD, BUT PEOPLE LOVED THE DARKNESS INSTEAD OF THE LIGHT.”
At first blush this seems incredible. Why would people ever choose closing their eyes to the true state of their affairs? The reality is that DARKNESS is easier to live with in the SHORT-RUN. It’s easier to abdicate responsibility, easier to put of taking action. Procrastination and denial are two of the culprits.But living in the LIGHT is truly more gratifying. It’s the difference between waking up to a beautiful sunning day or preferring a dark, cold, rainy day that provides the excuse to stay in and do nothing.

Great insights here. However I do wake up and want to stay in bed most days. Only when I was in Florida I wanted to get up at 7:30 and walk the beach at our resort. However I do have my purpose in being a voice for our voiceless babies and the Great Commission. So battling a spirit of lethargy is a must. Yes people love the darkness as it’s the easy wide road. Going against the stream of society causes people to be angry with my values. “Consider it all joy…”
