In a time of testing, you show what’s in your heart
Will you choose My ways, or from them fast depart?
Open up your eyes to see your sin, deep within
So you can repent and a new pathway begin

You are children of the light and children of the day
Shun the darkness of the world so you don’t go astray
When you choose the way of darkness, you put out the light
Those who want to live this way are children of the night

My dearly beloved children, live a life of love
Then you’ll be like Your Father who dwells in light above
As you behold My glory, your face will start to shine
Giving you the grace to walk in My power divine

John 12:35-36 – “Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going. 36 Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.” When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.”

1 Thessalonians 5:5–6 – “You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.”

1 Thessalonians 5
Ephesians 5
1 John 1:5–10

It is not dark because it’s nighttime. It is nighttime because it is dark. When the earth turns away from the sun, it dwells in its own shadow creating darkness. So it is also when we turn away from God who is light, we choose to dwell in darkness. There is a choice to be made. Do you want to be children of the light or children of the night?
