God has really been dropping some “nature knowledge” on me since Hurricane Helene….
Light. It cannot occupy the same space as darkness. Light will take over pushing the darkness out. Thankful for the sunlight that has shone through since this devastating storm in these beautiful days. My friend from BSF, Jan, said that she was “thankful that our true source of Power never leaves us.”
Light can take on many forms. It can be in the form of actual light from the sun or via electricity. Light can come through in a smile from a stranger, or a neighbor you have never seen or barely know. Light can be in the form of helping hands when the task is too great and feels overwhelming. Light can come in the form of a meal prepared with love that shows up unexpectedly. Light can beam in through people who come from hundreds, or maybe thousands, of miles away to lend extra hands to clean up or restore the man made light that was suddenly and violently taken away.
So many things can be hidden in the shadows and under the cover of darkness. In order to grow, living things need food, water, and light. While this process may be painful for us because of all of the devastation, I keep feeling like God is wanting more light to come in on us. His light. “Son”light. Bask in it. Let it warm you and soak it up. He IS THE light. THE light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Thank you to everyone who is continuing to help restore power, internet, homes and lives. It is dangerous work, and I know I’m not the only one praying for all of you.
So put on your “Son”glasses and let Him shine on you and through you. God bless. 💜🙏
