    When we are in a state of sin, we are like "human bats" who can move about only at night. We find it easier to live in darkness because the light reveals to us what we do not want to see. But then our eyes grow accustomed to darkness and we no longer recognize the light.

        We that are in Christ are not meant to be in darkness that is why God is telling us to rise and shine. We have been called from the darkness of the world into the light of the Lordpic.twitter.com/RBslk065v9
