Blindness comes when there is no light getting in. Lack of light is due to darkness, lack of knowledge, or sin. Lack of light covers the truth. Sin can cause darkness. When you sin against God, the light of God is not in you. Light and darkness cannot be in the same place. You cannot have them both in the room at the same time. If we are children of the Light, we must put away all darkness. Jesus is the Light!
Blindness happens in several different ways. Blindness of the mind occurs when we close our eyes to something we don't want to see. Physical blindness happens when something blocks the light from getting in. A personal attack of darkness can also come from people who are trying to blow your candle or light out. Have you ever heard the expression, “I’ll knock you lights out?” That just means, in simple words, I’ll stop you from doing anything! You won’t be able to see.
People are selfish. For some reason, they look at others and think it should be them and not you. Rather than going forth and making it work for themselves, they'll sit and judge your life instead. They want what they want for themselves, and if it looks like you may get ahead of them, watch out!
Choose your friends wisely. Walk in the marvelous light of God. Be a light! And only bring in the good light because God is in good light always!
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12)
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light. (Ephesians 5:8)
