Darkness Into Light
Today, I woke up before the sunrise; in a void, a lack of self worth, an emptiness that grew thick in my soul. I sat on the edge of my bed, with all of my pain looking down at me, yelling into me. I closed my eyes, and told myself to breathe, to surrender, to be thankful, to be gracious, to remember who created me, that He is always with me and I tilted my head up towards the ceiling, wiped my tears, opened my Bible and there in my hands He told me in scripture, "Jesus is there."
He is with us, He hears us, He gives us exactly what we need and knows the limits of our hearts.
I decided to get in my car and drive. My headlights were like funnels of radiant light in the stillness of the night. I drove past my fears, past my insecurities, past my pain. I could feel the sun rising beneath the horizon. I could feel my God moving in the breeze, in the wrestling of the trees, in the peace before daybreak, in the company that comes with silence. Then I arrived, I stepped onto the sand, opened the palms of my hands, walked toward the Ocean and began to absorb the peace. A moment later, the moon said goodbye and the Sun broke the sky. Beams of His illuminating light filled the atmosphere. I inhaled the message that He had given to me, "Jesus is there."
Sometimes we have to wake up and chase the darkness into the light.
For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.
