When our lives are filled with darkness, our spirits drained and seemingly lifeless and our burdens crushing us beneath their weight, it seems impossible that our light could shine forth as a beacon to others. Yet, in precisely those times others are watching to see if our faith and relationship with God will lift us up on eagles wings. It is also in those times that we must turn to God for the strength and courage to persevere. Let us today use our challenges to draw closer to God and enlighten others to the hope and faith that come from being close to Him. As Robert Service said in his poem, The Quitter, “It’s dead easy to quit, it’s the keeping your chin up that’s hard”. So let’s keep our chins up, and remember that someone in a dark place needs our light.
Shine on,
