As I walked this morning, at one particular point I looked up. I saw what seemed like a single ray of light directed at a tree. The light created an awesome display of the green leaves and red blooms on the tree. Outside the ray were the dark semblances of the tree’s form with dimmed views of its colors. The light and the color brightened my spirit. As I moved on I saw similar views on other trees. When I riched the pond the sun was viewable in its entirety. That alone was a glorious sight, but the Sun was also reflected on the pond’s surface. I stood still and soaked in the beauty before me.
Ephesians 5:8 says, “for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true).” Before becoming believers in Jesus Christ, we are all walking in darkness. But when we trust in Jesus as Savior and Lord, His light begins to shine in us and through us. This light produces the fruit of all things good and right and true. We become transformed into the light of Christ likeness.
Just as the Sun’s light produces good fruit for us to eat, light from the Son of God will produce good fruit in and through us. But this light is only available to us as we walk in trust in our God.
