Hello there, I'm so happy to have you stop by once again. So in this blog, I will be continuing the series I started on why we chose darkness rather than light and you can find the first series 👉 THE LIGHT HAS COME - PLEASURE. In the last series, I shared the introduction and one reason why people choose darkness rather than light, so in this series, I will be sharing the other reasons why men choose darkness rather than light.
In our world today if you are very observant, you will notice that we are gradually losing ourselves to different works of darkness either knowingly or unknowingly and it has affected how we relate with people around us. I know of some persons that don't believe in working with people, they just want to do things on their own to avoid some problems that may arise. And this happens because just as God has said, the heart of man is desperately wicked!!! And because of that reason, so many persons just don't want to have anything to do with people, they just want to be alone.
The truth is, yes men's heart are desperately wicked and God told us that because he does not want to hide anything from us not because he wants us to be scared of people (ourselves) but just so we can know and be careful, not abstaining. So many of us, me especially, I do have things that I do that are wicked to those that are around me but then what were people's reaction? Did they just tagged me as a wicked person or come to tell me try and change me in love? Which of them do you do? I'll leave that question to you.
Well, we already know that I have wickedness in me and so do you, but then when we are told that we are wicked why do we get angry instead of us to work on ourselves to be better? Being good is something that you learn because we already know that is the nature of man, there is an inbuilt wickedness and the way to learning to be good is first knowing that you once had darkness or you have darkness in you and then be ready to work on yourself using mostly the words of God so you don't get it wrong again.
So without further explanation, let's dive into the other reason why men choose darkness rather than light...
To hide their wicked nature
Like I've been saying, we humans we know we are wicked in nature but then we are not ready to leave that wicked nature and learn how to be good people, so we love darkness because it helps us hide our wicked nature but then we shouldn't forget that there is nothing that can be hidden from our maker (God) and even humans even though it takes time.
Take for instance a girl in a dark room, if you enter that room and call out to her but then she responded in a male voice, you can easily think it wasn't the girl after all but then it was the girl you were looking for that has changed her voice to that of a boy's voice just to deceive you but then, she was only able to succeed in deceiving you because she was in the darkness. This shows us that when we are in the dark we can't tell the truth from the false and trust me, that is really very dangerous.
But then, the girl was happy she wasn't caught too, she was able to deceive the other person and at that point she never really saw anything wrong with it because the darkness was able to save her, at least that was what she thought but then that single act can cause other effects not just on herself or the person calling her but also to others as well. I know you might be wondering how, okay, when the one looking for the girl goes out of that darkness and someone asked of the girl, he would say he did not find her but he heard a boy's voice. So until the light comes, the person will keep believing the false voice he heard and to him that is his truth.
That's all for the second reason why men love darkness rather than light, I hope you have been able to learn something from this today. Darkness is not a place you want to be, no matter how enjoyable and beneficial it is to you, it is not a place you want to be, not at all except of course if you are ignorant.
