There is a christian song that I heard years ago that made absolutely NO sense to me

and many other christians at the time...

CHORUS:
I'd rather walk in the dark with Jesus
Than walk in the light on my own
I'd rather go through the valley of the shadow with him
Than to dance on the mountains alone
I'd rather follow wherever he leads me
Than to go where none before me have gone
I'd rather walk in the dark with Jesus
Than to walk in the light of my own

That song BOTHERED me then because of the twisted imagery but NOW I see that MAYBE,

the writer of that song (Wayne Watson) really might have MEANT what he was saying...lol

The DARK is the denial of the delusion that we accept and use to keep us

from having to SEE OURSELVES in the true light;we see ourselves in "the light of Jesus"...

we are "forgiven, good, loved and accepted".We feel "entitled" to the community of others

who "believe as we do " (or did at least)...We feel safe and validated.

WALKING IN THE LIGHT on our own

is EXACTLY what a DECONVERTED christian does!!!! We "don't walk with Jesus" anymore...

We are walking in the LIGHT OF TRUTH and no longer in delusion and denial.
