DAYLIGHT 
 
And God said, “Let there be light!” And there was light, and it was good. Then the light shined into the darkness (the world) and the darkness was not able to comprehend it. What was the confusion found in darkness? The morality that God shined the light and life and as a being of love; His will cut through the surface of reality as lightning does through the wind. Consider these words within the scriptures: 
“The human spirit is the lamp of the Lord that sheds light on one’s inmost being.” 
 Proverbs 20:27 
This scripture is followed by this thought: “Love and faithfulness keep a king safe; through love his throne is made secure” - Proverbs 20:28 
God secured the foundation of king’s kingdom through His love, grace & righteousness. What is it to have light outshine the confusion in the air? It illumes the space within the environment whereby everything is different; all is new again. When you fall in love, somewhat as when you find admiration for a new pet... You fall in love with him all at first sight and even though you never saw this creature or had room in your life before that given moment to care for him you cannot think of reality without him in your life from that moment... that’s daylight. It opens and exposes all hidden meaning of the matter. What is it to turn the light on in a dark room? What becomes visible that used to block your path? It is cool to give guidance to a blind person to walk through a furnish room. It something more to give a blind man sight and watch him learn to adopted to life now that he can see. This is what it is like to expose spiritual light to an otherwise dark moral. 
“No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.” 
Luke 8:16 & 17 
Consider the reality that we don’t physically see all the physical energy of light that we are aware of scientifically here on Earth. The mystery of the Lord’s Word grows deep within; our insights are full of light, or it should expose, plus reflect light 
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION) "The eye is the lamp of the body, if your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!”               - Mathew 6: 22 & 23 
When one considers the darkness of the world which does not comprehend the beauty and power of the living light of Jesus Christ, we can understand why so many are lost. They’re groping through a pathway with no guidance. Drowning in a lifestyle of non-spiritual parental direction- towards a fate of deep, condemnation of judgment. This is the truth within the fibers of humanity. God has established salvation within the truth of these conditions. ​

FROM THE CROSS TO THE FLAG 
 
When this country, America, was founded it was built and based on the freedom of worship. The idea of a human honoring his or her religion as they please gave great glory to the true God. The word “pilgrim’ has a dictionary definition of “one who travels to a shrine or holy place in devotion”. God was very pleased to see humans fight, battle and die simply for the fact of honoring Him. This is the framework of what made this country great. Freedom of religion, free speech, freedom of economy, the idea of choice of one’s own lifestyle (within the skeleton structure of slavery of the African American). The idea of the First Amendment actually comes from a good place. 
There are two concepts which need to be noteworthy when looking at this deeply into humanity. One, slavery was (and still is) wicked along with sex trafficking, molestation and childhood labor. However, the core of humans is both good & evil. It is for this reason that we need a savior to save us. God's plan of salvation for humanity comes with a high price of innocent blood, death and human sacrifice. Two, nothing is impossible with God. Even though wickedness exist, God still can bring good fruit from a basin foundation. God’s purpose in life and His creation is for His own glory. If God found purpose in humans fighting a mother country to establish freedom to honor Him; He will bless such a meaning. This truth is core to the fiber of humanity. Why is there justice within the pathway of salvation? Because God found purpose in spite of darkness to bring Him glory. He was able to bring a harvest out of the land of weed, dryness and desolate. 
When our eyes are able to rise above the shadows that blocks the beauty of humanity, we are able to see pass the presence pain of this Earth. All our dismay is physically based on a root of a falling creation. Deeper than that, reality is light, glory and the fiber being of eternity within the creation of Heaven itself. There was good before there was an awareness of evil. So, if the moral in the foundation of this nation came from a good seed, where or when or how did we as a civilization grow astray? Somewhere along the journey (with the blind wickedness of slavery) American citizens looked somewhere else for their religion. They (as done before in history) seek other avenues to find their God. 
“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ” - Colossians 2:8 
The truth is Americans started to build their faith in hallow places. Our right and freedom to worship deteriorates too selfish, greedy, prideful, egotistical, hard hearts to execute the wickedness within our nature. We stop seeking freedom from sin. We as a culture strayed to desire evil found in power... worldliness human power; military, economics, private scientific knowledge, this we craved. Freedom of speech, to pray, to teach, to preach, and to lead our children this we strayed away from. We did this to the moral of killing those who did proclaim such a righteous path (John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and other martyr, plus casualty in the spiritual battlefield). 
Our spiritual rock has become a hallow cloud that provided no nurturing of spiritual water. We became empty of spiritual truth towards a solid foundation of beliefs to continue to grow... our branches of knowledge weigh too heavenly towards the gravity of the philosophy of this world. Our vision became cloudy not able to see clearly the pathway of salvation. Jesus’ light dimmed; not in nature, but in reality. We were no longer guiding our lives around the morality of love. Well,,, not at least the “love thy neighbor as thyself” or not the desire to love our true God with all our being (mind, body, heart & soul) God is love. We cannot find Him if we seek Him on a pathway absent of love. ​

The chosen few 
 
hristianity has a distinction which set us apart from other cultures in the world. From day one God has called His people to be set apart and be “holy”. God graciously lavished His love upon all of humanity intentionally. He exalts His name through the dread of cultures whom He calls His people. We are not called to be better than everyone else; we are called to be holy as He is holy, pure by spirit, meek by heart, carrying as nature of servanthood, following a decree of truth which establish justice and honor towards our King Jehovah. 
Read what the scripture says about God’s people: 
“I am the Lord your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves along the ground.” – Leviticus 11:44 
“Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God.” – Leviticus 20:7 
“Once a year Aaron shall make atonement on its horns. This annual atonement must be made with the blood of the atoning sin offering, for the generations to come. It is most holy to the Lord.” – Exodus 30:10 
“You must therefore make a distinction between clean and unclean animals and between clean and unclean birds. Do not defile yourselves by any animal or bird or anything that I have set apart as unclean for you. You are to be holy to me because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own.” – Leviticus 20:25 & 26 
“Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, where they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes . Rather it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands like Sarah who obey Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.” – I Peter 3:1-6 
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another”                                                                  - John 13:34 & 35 
“To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure, In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. They claim to know God, but by their detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good” – Titus 1:15 & 16 
God through His son has established a specific example of what His love looks like in this world. God is love. (SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: I John 5:16) His love is a force of nature. The force which consumes our very being of existence for all eyes to see and witness who His true name represents and what it reflects in life. We are known within His creation because He chose to be known through us… those who are called to be His people and exalted to be holy. This is a honorable calling and should be endured with sincerity and respect. Do we see ourselves to be worthy of such a calling? Do we desire the name, the creed, the true nature of Christianity.  ​

​MY REALITY MAGNIFIES MY FATE

 
“The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.’ They are corrupt. Their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.’ – Psalm 14:1
This statement is a biblical scripture. It not just an opinion… in my opinion. One who choose not to follow their life based on biblical scripture may not agree to themselves that they are foolish for not believing that God exist.
“Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels” – II Timothy 2:23
Every person needs a solid ground to build a foundation or their morals of right and wrong. Our emotions need to be guided by a source of reasoning. One could put their hand on a hot stove, feel pain, then reason that its not right for them to do that again. Thus; “It’s wrong to put your hand on a hot stove.” What we use to adjust our mental eyes to see what is true in this world needs to be justified by a solid reality. A compass is a very useful tool to guide one for direction on Earth. This form of guidance accompanied by a map can lead one anywhere on Earth then bring them home. Nevertheless, every compass needs to be magnetized to point north. If the compass is not magnetized to point north, it is useless. Likewise, if someone uses an accurate source and it does not justify their moral to see right and wrong they will never establish a view of justice within their lives.
            A moral issue is a subject that is judged by one’s opinion of right and wrong. The matter that is important here is that a moral issue in life is not necessarily a legal issue. One may live a certain lifestyle that is morally wrong yet be justified by the laws of the land. When we seek out the path to establish justice within humanity, we need to take into account who is judging the species of humans. I am not the judge. You are not the judge. Nevertheless, there is a judge.
(SPRITUAL REFLECTION: “Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil”
 – Ecclesiastes 12: 13 & 14
Likewise, this statement is a biblical scripture. You may choose not to believe this statement is true because you choose to not to follow your lifestyle based on the Bible. Nevertheless, there is a moral of truth which all must live by. This moral of truth needs to be measured and based around a level of reasoning that is realistic. What is realistic to one may not be for someone else. Reality is not a matter of opinion. Salvation is not one’s personal verdict.
