We do not have to create good. We do not have to persuade God to be Love, or Life, or Truth, or Intelligence. We do not have to ask Him to remember us. We could not ask for any good. Fundamentally, evil is a false belief about the power and availability of good.
If we draw down the shades in every room in a house, that house will be in darkness, and is likely to become damp and unhealthy as well, no matter how brightly the sun may be shining outside. Salvation consists in raising these shades and opening the windows—then He does the rest.
…walk as children of light (Ephesians 5:8).
This is another way of saying that God has already provided for our best good. We just have to claim it. The way to claim it is to seek and follow God’s will.
When we do this, we open our shades and let God’s ever-present light to enter our lives. Then, all that we need for our best good will manifest itself in our lives. That is when we can walk as children of light in the glorious garden of the Kingdom of God.
Walking in light,
Z gardener
