1 John 1:5-9 NASB This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

When my son woke up early this morning he had a fever and I needed to give him some medicine. I meant to turn on my bedside lamp but out of habit I flipped on the overhead light. Wow was that bright!  Going from complete dark to light can be blinding!

John says that God has no darkness in Him at all. Comparing our light to his can be blinding! But it is better to be temporarily blinded and realize our need for forgiveness, than to ignore the darkness (sin) in our lives and miss out on walking in “fellowship with Him” in the light. He is offering forgiveness, we just need to ask!
