It happened again this morning the darkness could not keep the day from dawning. However, last night seemed to last a long time. I had seen the images of hatred and darkness ;images of evil acts against innocent children. My heart was grieved and I found it hard to sleep but through out the night I remembered the truth. The darkness does not win.
The horrors that are being done to innocent children are the product of darkness. Those who have become slaves of darkness are trying to produce terror in the hearts of those who see the way they worship evil. You become like the thing you worship. But the darkness can never overcome the light and hatred never triumphs over love.
Sometimes it seems that hatred is stronger than love. The acts of hatred are brutal and cruel. There are those who worship at this alter believing that it gives them strength. But the essence of strength was when Jesus gave his life and then gave forgiveness to those who had brutally crucified him. The God of love triumphed over the god of hatred.
The god of darkness and hatred uses terror to bend the knees of all who worship at his alter. However, "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. "( 1 John4:18) When Jesus hung on the cross He took the punishment for my sin. It's a response to perfect love that bends the knees of those who worship Jesus the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
Jesus, You are the bright and Morning Star. Day after day I am reminded of the truth that You have triumphed over darkness. Your love has conquered hate. You truth exposes lies that are perpetrated to bind us. I worship at Your alter and ask that you would unbind those who worship the god of darkness.
