The Light Always Reveals

Confession – I have a really bad habit of doing my make-up in the car, and it drives Jay absolutely crazy! I have determined a million times that I am not going to do it, but when I am running late, I put it on before I walk into wherever I am going. Sometimes I can get by without anyone knowing, but if it is sunny, I am busted! The light always reveals!

.

It is hard to believe that these pictures were taken within a few days of each other. Even the temperature difference seems unbelievable, but this is Texas. Notice how you do not see the dust from my make-up in the first picture. When the sun came out a day or two later, you could definitely see it. The light revealed the dust.

The Bible talks about this very thing:

.

“Everything exposed by the light is made clear.” Ephesians 5:13

.

“For everyone who practices wicked things hates the light and avoids it, so that their deeds may not be exposed.” John 3:20

.

Christ is the Light of the world. When we allow Him to be our standard for righteousness, His light reveals the areas we need to change in our lives. Only surrendering to Him and His ways can keep us on the right track. The verse in John continues:

.

“But anyone who lives by the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be shown to be accomplished by God.” John 3:21

.

My New Year’s resolution is not to do my make-up in the car, and I have done well. Jay just had the car cleaned recently. On overcast or sunny days, the dashboard looks the same. I know that if the make-up comes out, it will always be revealed by the light.
