Jesus said, "For judgement I am come into the world, that they who see not might see and that those who see might be made blind."
John 9:32

Each child of the Father is self-judged by that reaction which he makes to the light vouchsafed to him. He who receives the light and walks by it judges himself able and willing to live and walk in the light and power of it. He who rejects it deprives himself of knowledge and of understanding : he loses his way through loss of light and has no means of interpreting the situation which he encounters in a meaningful way. So he becomes a stumbling block to others if he perseveres in perversity.

But those who grope for the light, however feebly, are led into truth and understanding . Those who walk in a measure of light, who seek to penetrate the farther reaches of meaningfulness and significance receive insight as they persevere in the search and in self-giving . Of such are the world's saints.

So My Presence enlightens and empowers. But it is a criterion of stumbling for those who choose to turn away to obey their own selfish ends and to exert power for evil purposes. Their situation is dire unless they turn in their tracks , for they reject not only light afforded them but love which is the condition and means of growth in the spirit.

Constantly seek the light of My Presence and live in the power of it. Let Me pray in and through you for those who turn from the light that they may know the joy of travelling in the way of fellowship and in love.
