John 1:5
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Everyday life is filled with opportunities for darkness.
Now more than ever is the time to arise and shine…
For the darker the darkness the greater the hunger for TRUE light.
But how do we really function this out when fatigue feels louder than the faith we possess?
How do we live in the present and keep our eyes locked on hopes unseen?
We may not have control over our comfort or circumstances…
But what we do have are choices.
We can…
Put our hearts on hold as we await the currents to change…
Or we can choose the tough decision to wade our way through them.
Most often, I feel that God is only asking that we do the next right thing.
To choose the next right choice.
So many moments I sense an unraveling around me…
I can literally feel the quaking.
What do I do as all spins out of control…
As life feels chaotic and uncertain?
I often think…
How did she become the adult in charge of important decision-making?
Daily, I am tempted to wrestle with the voices in my head telling me…
I fall short and that I am missing my mark.
I so want to honor all that I have been designed for.
But truthfully… there are moments when just breathing feels taxing.
It’s in these moments, I am deeply reminded…
He places His light in The Body…
In us…
In our brothers and sisters…
To sojourn arm in arm…
Offering nearness in the journey….
Nudging us onward.
I have never been so thankful for our church body…
For our family…
And for each of you as I am right now.
Darkness may try to overwhelm…
But the Church will continue to rise up.
And though humans can never fill our gaps…
They can remind us of who can…
And lead us back once again to the strong arms…
Of our Loving Father.
This is the next right decision for me.
As our future feels so unknown and we continue to face obstacle after obstacle…
I need to CHOOSE to return to this place…
Knowing…
The light shines in the darkness and love will always overcome it.
