“The light of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.” (Matthew 6:22-23)
If our conscience is clear before God then we can trust that the light of God will illuminate the dark spaces in our soul. There is nowhere for sin to hide and we are ok with that. There will be no room for us to “shuck and jive” in an effort to convince ourselves and others that darkness is light. For, that is at the heart of things when we are full of darkness; we will try to convince ourselves and others that our wrong is right. “If the conscience, which is the candle of the Lord, which searches the secret parts of the belly, be not light but darkness, then how great the darkness must be! If a man has not enough conscience to know darkness from light and light from darkness, and he puts bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter…If the understanding of man is dark, how dark must be man's soul! If what we use to judge, weigh, and test…is amiss…if it is broken, then how gross, indeed, must be the ignorance of man…Let understanding be enlightened, and the rays will diffuse, and illuminate every faculty of the whole man.” Charles Spurgeon Those of us with a single eye will hold nothing back from God. He will be our light. “Whichever you do, do it with all your heart; but do not try to do both, because you cannot. Oh, if you are Christians, live life with all your might for Christ. Don’t keep back part of the price, like Ananias and Sapphira, but give Jesus your all.” Single Eye Full of Light! GiGi❤️
