Arise, shine; it is time to shine
and the light of God is upon you.
Imagine yourself entering a room. You close the door behind you and it's pitch black inside. In your hand is a small suitcase. In the suitcase is a source of light. When you open the suitcase, the light illuminates the room…the light dispels the darkness. This is a law of nature.
Now, imagine entering a room that is fully lit. In your hand is an empty suitcase. An empty suitcase has to be dark inside, right? So, the suitcase is "full of darkness." When you open your suitcase "full of darkness," does the room suddenly become dark? Of course not...it sounds silly even to think about it...because, once again, the light (of the room) has dispelled the darkness.
Why do we so easily allow dark, negative fears and worries to enter the rooms of our minds and hearts? Darkness does NOT dispel light. Darkness can only mask the light - and only temporarily. Allowing the darkness in goes against God's natural plan for the wellness of our emotional selves. God IS light; it's as simple as that. Darkness is NEVER light.
Allow His positive, divine love for you to bring light to your hopes and dreams today.
My Prayer:
Master, Creator of Light, illuminate my life as You dispel the dark corners of my heart and head. Show me and guide me to strip off the mask that suffocates me or obscures my clear vision of Your radiance.
Amen
