Light vs. Darkness

"And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”

As some of you know, one of my part time jobs is chatting with people about Jesus (yes, literally). People sign on the website and are connected to different people to talk about Jesus. I have never understood John 3:19-21 as clearly as I do now. So many people come on the website with questions about a sin they're living in and hoping to receive affirmation for the decisions they're making. However, the curious thing is that they know they are living in sin, but they do not want to change. Then when using the Bible to direct them to Jesus, they reject it. Many of these people are Christians, or claim to be, but either way, they do not want their sins pointed out nor do they want to turn from it. It pains me every tie I receive one of those conversation, because God is merciful and forgiving, all we have to do is turn from our sin and cling onto Him. On the other hand, God is just and holy, He does not look lightly upon sin, but these seekers always try to convince me that God loves them regardless of their choice. Then I continue to share the gospel with them, and sometimes, just sometimes, the person will fall before Christ.

Through this opportunity, I get an inkling of how Christ feels: the rejection of truth and pains for the, but also the joys of a lost sheep returning. This next week will be my first week at MBBC, and already I feel like this is more than I can handle. Then I'm reminded, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."Therefore...Jesus, help me!
