No brighter, no darkness

This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he 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 we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. (1 John 1:5-10 ESV)

Light and darkness are such well defined references.  I often will think about things in extremes and this concept came to my mind.  The light of God is so bright, that adding any additional light (light bulb, flashlight, sun) would be unnoticeable.  In Him there is no darkness, thereby making it impossible to detract from His brightness and in the converse, impossible to add to it.  We are inherently little black holes that consume light and create darkness, due to our sinful nature.  When we receive Christ through faith, confess our sins, and seek forgiveness, His forgiveness cleanses us of our unrighteousness, thereby erasing darkness and instead enrobing us in the light of His salvation.  We will never be perfect on this Earth, yet He who has called us unto Himself has, does, and will continue to Love us perfectly.  Amen!
