When you place a lamp within a room and turn it on, the whole room is lit up. The only way a portion of the room can remain dark is if it is cut off from the light. Light destroys darkness.
Luke 11:35-36 says, “Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light.” Be careful where you place your thoughts and attention. Even a little bit of darkness affects the light you can experience and share with others. When we focus on unworthy thoughts, we are cutting a portion of ourselves off from the light. We are making that part of us dark. Let’s focus our thoughts and attention on God, truth, godliness, and love.
