Finding Joy in Stepping Into the Light: Lessons from Ruth's Hide and Seek
Imagine playing hide-and-seek with a 3-year-old like my little friend Ruth. She hides, but not for long. Soon, she pops out and shouts, “Here I am, Daddy!” Her delight is not in staying hidden but in being found by her loving father. This game teaches us a lot about our lives. Just like Ruth, we often hide—sometimes from God, sometimes from others. But deep down, the real joy is in being found, known, and loved. To discover this joy, we must come into the light. Yet, what light should we seek?
Understanding the World's Light: A Cautionary Tale
When our faults and mistakes come to light, the world might respond in ways that are far from helpful. Sometimes, it reacts with shame, burying us deeper in our problems. Other times, it simply ignores us, pretending there's nothing wrong. And, strangely enough, it might even celebrate our mistakes, keeping us trapped. None of these responses help us grow or find freedom. Instead, they make us want to hide even more. We need a different kind of light—one that heals and forgives, not judges harshly.
Embracing Jesus's Light: A Path to Freedom
There’s a beautiful story in the Bible where Jesus meets a woman who was hiding her past. Expecting judgment, she was surprised by the understanding and love Jesus offered. Unlike the world's harsh glare, His light was kind and forgiving. It welcomed her out of hiding and into freedom. Jesus’s light isn’t about pointing fingers at our mistakes. Instead, it shines with love, helping us grow and change. When we step into Jesus’s light, we find the ultimate prize—being fully known and deeply loved.
Inspirational Quotes and Anecdotes: Encouragement for Your Journey
Just like the Samaritan woman, remember, “The greatest joy isn’t in staying hidden but in being found.” Let this thought guide you as you navigate your spiritual journey. Stepping into the light might seem scary, but it’s the path to true freedom and peace. You are never alone on this journey; the right light will always lead you home.
