Exposed

What if people are like film? But Madelyn, how on earth could people be like film...? Well, think about it.

Film must be stored in a special canister. It must be kept in darkness until it is ready for use. When exposed to light, properly of course, it becomes a negative which later on becomes a photograph.

John 3:20 states 'Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.' People, like film, stay in darkness, for fear of being exposed or ruined. But the thing is, when film is exposed to light in the proper way, the potential is incredible! The film could be documenting a baby's first smile, or three generations of daughters. Or once developed, the film could be showing a beautiful landscape, or a fresh spring flower.

People stay in darkness for fear the light will expose them. But when they are introduced to the Light, they can become something wonderful. So why hide in a film canister, when you can become a resplendent work of art?
