1 John 1:6 (NKJV) 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
Walking in darkness is not something we should do.
Yes, we might occasionally make a wrong choice that leads us to do or say something we shouldn’t do or say. But this should be the exception, not the rule.
As children of God, we are told that we are to walk in the light (1 John 1:7). Doing so shows evidence of our repentant heart and the fact that we are truly His.
As each of us grows in our walk with Him and our spiritual maturity, we will all be in a different place in this.
This comes over time, as we learn of God and allow Him to touch our hearts and change them, from the inside, out.
His love will transform us as we surrender to Him in various areas of our lives.
And as the years go by, we will eventually reach a place where we may no longer even recognize ourselves when compared to who we once were.
This is a process. It takes time. It doesn’t happen overnight.
We need to make the effort and be diligent in walking it out. And we need to learn to be patient as God works it out in us.
It may sometimes seem like we’re not growing as fast as we would like to be. But if we are faithful and diligent, God’s mercy and grace will shape us and mold us into a faithful servant with a heart that longs more and more to be like Him.
Amen.
