"For everyone who does evil 

hates the light 

and avoids it,

so that

his deeds may not be exposed.

But anyone who lives by  the truth comes to the light,

so that 

his works may be shown to be accomplished by God.

John 3:20-21 CSB

Jesus pulls no punches when talking with Nicodemus. 

We're either walking towards the Light, or hiding from it. 

I'm sure that it was not lost on Nicodemus that he was seeking the Light but sneaking around in the dark to do it!

This is where the battle is though for me...the dark things in my heart that I don't want exposed. 

Live by the Truth and we will be drawn to the Light. 

The Truth he just spoke a  couple of verses earlier was that he has not come to condemn, 

but to save, 

that God is love,

that love stepped in and made a way, 

that God wants all of us to be restored to fellowship with Him.

Even these tough-to-hear words of Jesus are given in the context of love, 

of grace, 

of our God who makes a way.

Keep stepping towards the light today.
