darkness.
what does it make you think of?
shifty eyes? drunkeness? debauchery? drugs? shadows?
shifty eyes? drunkeness? debauchery? drugs? shadows?
my father always used to tell me, "nothing good happens after midnight katie." The older I get, the more truth i see in that statement. can you think of anything good that happens in the dark? eh, maybe you think what you do in the dark is fun, but when it really comes down to it, is it good? is it wholesome? is it pleasing to the lord? probably not. i continue to see more and more why god created sleep at night. he wanted to give us a way out of the darkness, but knew that while many would innocently sleep through the horrors of the night, many more would have their very lives stripped from them during the night. the lord knew that eventually someone would have to pay the price for darkness once and for all.
and no. i don't mean someone will have to pay for literal darkness, i mean sin.
and while Christ came and died to allow a way back to the lord, it does not mean that evil has been conquered. it is our job, as people, christians, made by the true and living god, to love his creation and come to rescue them.
-have nothing to do with fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather, expose them. -ephesians 5:8-
to me, saturday night, at breaking the chains, was not only a time of education, but a time of experiencing darkness. the room emily and i sat in to listen to the speaker was dark, except for small lamp lights that illuminated only enough of the place to allow the speaker to see her notes. to me, it was symbolism. as more and more people come to know the hugeness of human trafficking and decide to do something about it, the more light will be shed, and the more people will be freed from the darkness.
like emily said in our previous blog: awareness is crucial. tell anyone, tell everyone.
daily commission: did you know that the main reason people become slaves is because of a lack of education? it only costs 135.00 to free a slave.
