Even In The Darkness

The photo you see here was taken after 8 p.m. in complete darkness. The Moon, surrounded by little white dots, stars, is the prominent feature. I share it with you for this reason: Light shines through darkness. The darkness cannot overcome it. Even in a pitch black night, it is still there. Even when my spirit, my soul, is dark, it is there. This is the message of the Christian Gospel, isn’t it. There is a strong echo of Genesis 1 and an affirmation of the claim of Jesus: ”I am the light of the world…” Right here in my backyard…yours, too. When I take time and pay attention, I become aware of many reminders and affirmations of the presence and power of The Light. Even when you can’t see it, it’s there. Live in that Light today.
