5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. ~ John 1:5
I have never seen a struggle between light and darkness. As you walk into a dark room and flick the switch, quicker than the eye can see, the darkness changes to light because it no longer lacks light. We are the light in this present darkness. And as the light, we have to overcome the darkness in our communities, workplaces, schools, etc., by acting as light.
How we treat others and how we live our lives is the only way to be the light. Our actions are what lead others to the light.
16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16
We can’t be miserable, difficult to work with, easily angered, sexually immoral, and still have a testimony for Christ. We have to live as the light, not as the darkness. And when we do, we will begin to see the change in the world around us because the darkness cannot overcome the light.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Shine in the Darkness.
