You thought it was one color, but you got it into the sunlight and found out that it was different than you thought.  That is the way it is when we bring ourselves to the fullness of the light found in Jesus, the Light of the world.  “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the hearts” Proverbs 21:2 (NKJV).  I do not want to be right only in my own eyes.  I need the Light of God on all of my thoughts, words and actions, or I will never see the colors clearly.
