God is Light and in him is no darkness at all.

I love the words of John. There is something about his words that brings peace and comfort to my soul. 1 John 1:5 "God is light: and in him is no darkness at all." Doesn't that just take away all the anxiety and worry? Of course I suppose that if one loved darkness it would bring fear to them. But for those of us who love our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ it brings peace. John goes on to say that if we say we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness we lie.I'm not judging here because I know how easy it is to dabble and think, "I'm all right. I can do this and still believe" but it makes it easier to go further into the darkness. "There's the light," we say, "I still believe." Then one day we wake up and wonder how we got so far away. So we aren't just lying to others but to ourselves as well.

John goes on to say, "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus  Christ his son cleansesth us, from all sin." So if we follow Christ, stay close to him, do the things he did. we can have fellowship with other believers -- with the organized church -- and I believe that we also have fellowship with the angels and eventually with others who have likewise gone on ahead. When I get to heaven (If I don't mess up and not make it) I want to see my Daddy, and Grandma Stearns and all the rest of them like Grandpa Penrod who I never met on this earth, I want to meet Elijah.and the apostle John and Peter. To do that, I must see to it that I walk in the light.
    
A strange thought just hit me. Christ had the option to walk away from the Father and not stay "in the Spirit,"  He too could have dabbled and gotten lost in the dark, but he didn't. It was never a sure thing. Even with all the prophecies in the old Testament had Christ failed, Father would have raised up another, like John for example. We are all children of the Father after all. But he did it. He kept the promise he made to us and to Heavenly Father.
