5 creation: sun, moon[,] and stars

This light You have created is an embodiment of You, Father. Your light has penetrated the darkness of my soul and freed it, reclaiming me as Your son. Try as it might the darkness cannot overcome the light. Paul writes, "for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth." Sometimes Father I hide from Your light. I get distracted by the "fruitless deeds of darkness". I find myself in a cold and disturbing place. But no matter how dark a place I find myself in, Your light penetrates and brings me back. You expose the sin and lies and fill me with Your truth. Your grace bestows a light in me that shines for others to see. Your word convicts me to let the light shine. To make everything visible. To bring the message to the darkness. For it is so dark they cannot see the path that leads to You. They need the light You shine through us if they are ever going to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus the Christ.

for His death crushed the sin that enslaved the world
