When you spend time with God worshiping Him, talking to Him, listening for His voice and reading His Word, He transforms you. God brings things to light. It is a moment of change when He puts His finger on something in your heart that you have pushed down and have forgotten is there. It may be something that you didn’t even know was there but it’s time to let Him help and heal you in that area. He is a Master Surgeon our Great Physician. When we are opened up to Him He does NOT bring shame. God’s Light in our hearts is safe. You might feel like making a quick exit from this place of exposure by shutting down or pulling away or trying to hide like Eve and Adam did in the Garden when they lost their covering of glory from God through sin but don’t do it.
God is there to cover you, to heal you, to help YOU to become whole. This time with God is meant for moving in, for closeness, for intimacy with Him. It’s a divine relationship. He loves you. It is a moment of transformation to bring whatever it is that is dark into the light of God’s mercy to be changed. It sets you free. It helps you grow spiritually. It is healing for your soul and body. It is a spiritual act of worship like it states in Romans 12:1 “Therefore I urge you, Brothers/Sisters, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual act of worship.” Letting God’s light inside changes us. We become more and more like Jesus. Jesus is the LIGHT that came into the world. As we let the light move in our hearts we will shine brighter and brighter in the darkness.
