Reality is clear when we stand in the light.\
Falsehood appears when we tilt ourselves just enough to distort what’s real.
Every object—tree, person, or building—casts a shadow.\
But only the object is real. The shadow is an effect, not the truth.
Light reveals what’s true. Darkness hides it, warping our perspective.\
Our angle to the light source changes everything.
Christ is that source of light. He shines on everyone—no matter who we are.\
He doesn’t shift. Truth doesn’t shift.
But we do. Our minds waver like waves in the ocean, creating ever-changing shadows.\
Those shifting shadows can fool us.
Today, let’s choose to stand in his perfect light.\
Let’s notice where we need to grow and refuse to be deceived by distorted reflections.\
Let’s anchor ourselves to what’s real.
Until next time,\

> Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. **James 1: 16-18**
