LET THE LIGHT SHINE IN

 

The night sky can be so dark at times, especially when there’s no moon. Add to that, being in the woods and the trees block most of the stars. It can be so dark that you can’t see your hand directly in front of your face. Darkness equals absence of light.

One’s mind can really play tricks on you when you can’t see anything. You can hear “something” walking nearby on the ground or “something” rustling overhead in the trees, however because of the darkness you can’t tell if it’s a good or bad “something.”

My favorite time in the morning is just before sunrise. The darkness slowly starts to give way to the light. The sky lightens just enough to separate darkness from light. It’s a time where there is a definite line between the darkness and the light. Everything is not completely visible yet, but there is enough light to make out the difference.

As the light continues to overpower the darkness, those “somethings” become more apparent as to if they’re good or bad. With the increasing quality of light, the quality of your vision increases as well. Eventually the light completely takes over darkness and everything can be seen crystal clear. You now know if those “somethings” in the dark were looking to harm you or just waiting f the light as well.

It’s a relief to have the light illuminate everything for us so we can enjoy the beauty it has to offer.

2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.
