The Light Shines in the Darkness

The Light Shines in the Darkness-Muscadine Press

Just in case you needed the reminder, sweet friend. Though the darkness sometimes falls thickly around us, the light still shines. It may seem faint, but that's just an illusion. It's always there, shining brightly, beckoning us to turn from the darkness, draw near, and bask in the warmth of its glow.

Jesus called himself the Light of the World, and it is his light that we cling to when the darkness presses close. Let's be people who look to the light and share its inextinguishable and unwavering radiance with the world around us.

Let it be so, Lord. Let it be so.

    The promise of the gospel is not that I would never face trouble or hardship in this life, but that when those troubles come my way, I do not face them alone.
