Secrets and Shadows

My prayer tonight is that truth can be removed from the shadows of secrecy, for it is not meant to be in the shadows of darkness. May light fill the darkness and expose it. For truth does not fail in the light; it needs no protection from the light. O God, let your light shine so brightly that truth may triumph and end discord.

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. (1 John 1.5-7 NIV)
