Harmless Light
"Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world". (Philippians 2:14 NKJV) Someone rightly says that darkness is not the opposite of light, but the absence of it. In fact, the only relevance of the light is the threat of darkness. Therefore, it is impossible to discover the luminance of the light without the help of darkness. The activities of the children of darkness are undeniably harmful, but the children of the light cannot be proven blameless until evil can be accommodated with gratitude to God. Harmless light does not leave a stain on its source; it only reveals the darkness in its target.
