I’ve come to Louisiana to work on disaster relief. The area suffered damage from a hurricane last year. The damage is not always visible on the outside level. Often the damage is hidden underneath, but can be more devastating. Mold from water damage hides beneath the surface. The impact can be devastating.
Sometimes we try to hide our inner self. We have light hearted discussions and joke around. But our clever disguise does not hide the quality of our character.
John 3:20-21 says, “For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light. 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.” Our character is revealed in our actions. If we are selfish and do things with evil intentions, then our character is displayed to others as wicked and we are far from God. But if we do good works with righteous intentions, then we are judged by others to be of good character and we are close to God. Come to the Light of God’s love and let Him redeem your character.
