Dark Cannot Overtake Light

Dark gets to have its days. Sometimes it overwhelms and overtakes life. It may succeed for awhile, but it won’t always dominate. If it were the ultimate victor, then I would rather go now. It will not win. Even in the deepest dark, it won’t obliterate light. When we’re navigating through the blackest moments, the light is the hope that is lit in someone. It may be you or someone else or both. But it’s never no one. That’s why we haven’t all just given up. It’s also why God has faith in us. He keeps trying to strengthen that light with an Eternal Hope because the chances are great that we will encounter the dark, and it will leave a wake that we have to contend with. We may have a shared darkness or I might have mine and you have yours. I don’t want to deal with mine alone. I imagine you don’t either. So, I’m going to be real with you and say, I have my personal dark days. I’m in them now, but then today, I see the joint darkness that we all have to deal with in some way and I look outside of myself, at human hope and the way it sets off goodness and compassion in the dark, and I am amazed. Yet, as beautiful as that is, God is making every effort to enlighten our hearts and minds to see beyond the temporary blackness. His Light can make ours great, but it’s more than that. He is the Light. As bad as it is, He is always the Light. If I want it, He makes me light also. I believe He does this so I don’t lose hope . If I do, the dark may overtake me. The truth is, dark- has – an – end. God’s Light does not. It can’t because it’s Love and His is never ending.

“In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:4-5

“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12

Love (Light) Always❤
