Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.
John 3:20-21
this was really convicting for me. not that i'm hiding out inside of some huge sin...but more that i'm a private person by nature. i like to keep my stuff to myself, whatever is going on in my head, what i'm struggling with, my hurts, fears...i just feel more comfortable keeping it inside and not sharing it with others, even those close to me. but i think that sometimes that can be a foothold for Satan. even if i'm not intentionally 'hiding' something, my sense of safety within privacy is essentially a 'darkness', b/c i'm not allowing other Christ followers into my life...not allowing God to speak through them into my heart. and it brings me to question, what am i so afraid to let out? what am i so afraid to let others see, to let them in??
of course there's a fine line here of overflowing everythign on to everyone you know....but
yeah, not even close to being there yet.....
