Unconscious Unreality

   Chambers says today: "Walking in the light, for many of us, is walking according to our standard for another person." He then says that this equates to unconscious unreality, which is worse than hypocrisy.

   The key here seems to be his reference to "our" standard. If I truly walk in the Light, then the standard of living has to be Jesus Christ's standard, or Christ Himself. If I say that my standard is important then I am living in unconscious unreality, that I am not walking in Truth.

   I do that by judging others, and what their lives are about, by my standards and usually mine are "better", or so I think. There is a major element of pride in all of this, as if "my light" is the guiding power that others should be able to see and live by.

   This is the height of folly, and I know it, but my judging does nothing to admit to this. It is unreality pure and simple.

   Only God has the Light and only He can place the correct standard before me. His standards are Truth and are for all men everywhere. I need to urge others to live by that Light and not substitute my own puny beam for that .

   If I truly walk in that Light, it will be that Light that shines through my life, and I sure do not need to take credit for any good that comes out of it.

   God Help me to get out of the way and not block your Light.
