Walk In The Light

Do you ever feel distressed by your own shortcomings.

You don’t want to let the enemy accuse you  or condemn you or make you feel bad about yourself.  You are the righteousness of Christ Jesus. He has made you a saint and you can walk free of your sin.  In areas of your life where there is sin, His Holy Spirit will convict you and lead you to a fresh start.

The Message Bible communicates II Corinthians 7:10 in this way:

Distress that drives us to God does that. It turns us around. It gets us back in the way of salvation. We never regret that kind of pain. But those who let distress drive them away from God are full of regrets, end up on a deathbed of regrets.

It may be “distressing” to begin to walk in the light and to call any of your fleshly patterns “sin”, but in the long run it will lead to freedom.  Let Godly sorrow do its work in you and turn you toward His loving, forgiving heart.  God never shines His light to expose you or condemn you.  It is much the opposite.  He shines His light in your heart to drive out the darkness.  His way is light.
