Read Ephesians 5:8-14

⁸You yourselves used to be in the darkness, but since you have become the Lord’s people, you are in the light. So you must live like people who belong to the light, ⁹for it is the light^h that brings a rich harvest of every kind of goodness, righteousness, and truth. ¹⁰Try to learn what pleases the Lord. ¹¹Have nothing to do with the worthless things that people do, things that belong to the darkness. Instead, bring them out to the light. ¹²(It is really too shameful even to talk about the things they do in secret.) ¹³And when all things are brought out to the light, then their true nature is clearly revealed; ¹⁴for anything that is clearly revealed becomes light.ⁱ That is why it is said:

“Wake up, sleeper,

and rise from death,

and Christ will shine on you.”

Think

Paul reminds his readers to live in the light, and not in darkness.  He reminds us - when we bring our darkness into the light - God shines upon us and turns that darkness into light.

Pray

Lord I bring you those things that I don't like to share with others.  Shine your light even into the darkest places, transform me.
