Luke 11:34-36
34 The light of the body is the eye. Therefore, when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light. But when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.”How hard it is to walk in the light when people around us are walking in darkness?

It is every day struggle and constant war against powers of darkness so that we can walk in the light of Jesus and His Holy Spirit filling us and helping us to win. Praise be to God for His Son Jesus Christ, who bought us with His blood and His blood cleanses us from all sins.

Certainly, this is the model which it set before us, for the Saviour Himself said, “Be ye perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect”; and although we may feel that we can never rival the perfection of God, yet we are to seek after it, and never to be satisfied until we attain to it.
