Comparison, a culprit?

In a house at night, lights on inside -looking outside.
"It's dark out there. I'm safe here where it is lit".
As bed time draws near, lights inside turn off one by one.
"My eyes are more accustom to the dark".
An equilibrium is met.
"Dark is not so dark after all".
A room with no widows is even darker than outside.
Comparison, a culprit?

The Light of life shines.
Darkness all around, Jesus Christ is light and salvation.
Callous to the Holy Spirit- lights dim, flicker and turn off.
What was once sinful, is not so sinful after all.
Compared with something more sinful my sin looks not so bad.
Comparison, a culprit?
Diligently work, as approved and not ashamed.
God's word- light on my path.
