If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
- 1 John 1:6-7
Have you noticed that it is human nature to hide?
We conceal our addictions, our identities, and our opposition.
We hide our feelings, opinions, and insecurities.
We bury past experiences, secrets, and our shame.
There is a new song playing on the radio (for those of us that still listen to the radio) by the artist Tayá, called Come Into The Light.
Are you wounded from all the pain
Of hidden sin and secret shame?
Are you burdened and so afraid?
Come into the light
Are you weak and scared to speak
Of what you can't admit you need?
Are you tired of lacking peace?
Come into the light
Come into the light
And you will find a savior
Gentle and lowly waiting on the other side
He will meet you gladly
Over and over with loving kindness in His eyes
Oh, come into the light
Do you question how you could trust
That His grace is more than enough?
There's just One who measures up
Come into the light
Have you been here a thousand times?
Have you started to believe the lie
That it's safer for you to hide?
Come into the light
Oh, come into the light
And you will find a savior
Gentle and lowly waiting on the other side
He will meet you gladly
Over and over with loving kindness in His eyes
Oh, come into the light
Come into the light
If you're ready for your freedom
Come into the light
If you're ready for your healing
Come into the light
If you're ready for redemption
Come into the light
He is ready for your freedom
Come into the light
He is ready for your healing
Come into the light
He's the God of resurrection
Bringing dead things back to life
Oh, come into the light
Ouch.
That might hit a little close to home for some of us.
Tayá shared the story behind the song, in a video on her Instagram feed that included this: “We just realized there was this invitation to bring every part of our life before God. And what's crazy is when you don't and you keep things in the dark and you keep it hidden, that's where the enemy (has) his playground and he loves to work. But when you bring things into the light, the broken pieces, the, the things that you think that nobody else knows about, but you maybe carry very dear or perhaps weigh heavily on you, when you bring that to God, you allow him to work and you allow him to be who he says that he is. He actually wants us to walk in freedom and us to walk in healing and wholeness more than we desire to. I just love that this is an invitation for all of us."
Come to the light and you will find a Savior.
We don’t have to be ashamed or scared.
Jesus can set you free.
