During the winter, days can feel heavy and gray.

As a regular part of their work before flights, pilots do outside checks of their aircraft. During cold and rainy days, this is not their favorite part of the job.

But one of my favorite experiences as a pilot on a day like that came after taking off and climbing through dark clouds when, suddenly, the aircraft climbed into the clear, brilliant, and beautiful sunlight—leaving behind dark clouds, rain, and slush.

That instant contrast taught me that when we focus our eyes on heaven, we can emerge into light—even during the seemingly darkest of days.

However thick the clouds, the sun is always there, waiting to shine on us as we rise toward heaven.

If you feel weighed down and troubled, please don’t lose heart. Keep moving forward and upward with faith, prayer, and trust in the Lord. His light is always there to lead and comfort us.
