Darkness

Making sense of madness...of things we don't understand is so hard.  Trying to look for the light in the darkness is almost an impossible task, but we keep searching, searching, looking for the light that will lead us out.

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are my ways your ways," declares the LORD.  (Isaiah 55:8)

The Light is seen most clearly in darkness.  The rays streaming through, beckoning the way, guiding the feet to the Source of the light.  Jesus is the source of the Light.  He is Light, and "in Him there is no darkness at all" (1John 1:5)

The darkness is not Jesus.  He is Light.  He is the way out of the darkness.  He is the beacon that guides you to Him and takes you home.

"Arise, shine, for you light has come
and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
See, darkness covers the earth and
thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the LORD rises upon you
and His glory appears over you.
Nations will come to your light
and kings to the brightness of your dawn."  (Isaiah 60:1-3)
