Confronting the Darkness in God’s Light

I once heard about a confrontation between a young boy and his mother. The mother asked her son, “Young man, there were two cookies in the pantry this morning! May I ask how it happened that there’s only one now?” The boy didn’t flinch but said, “It must’ve been so dark I didn’t see the other one.” Living in sin is often portrayed as “living in darkness.” Just like the boy who missed the other cookie, we too miss out on many of God’s blessings when we refuse to walk in His light.
