Being in the Light

What reassures you?

For me, it's light. From twinkling white Christmas bulbs to the sun dappling through the butterfly bush, light breaks through the darkness and reminds me that the light is victorious. Light wins.

When things are at their darkest, I am reminded that we know the end of our story already... the Light of the World is victorious. All darkness that we experience will someday fade away as we spend eternity basking in God's glorious light.

I have been stuck in dark places, but I reach out to the light. In our backyard, our grapevines grow in crazy directions, sticking out every-which-way so that they can spread their leaves and get as much light as they can drink in. Father, help me to reach up to you with open arms, free from shame, drinking in all your glory and brilliance.


I wanna be in the light
As you are in the light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, lord be my light and be my salvation
Cause all I want is to be in the light
All I want is to be in the light
---DC Talk "In the Light"
