It may feel as if the world is closing in on us, shouting in our ears so incredibly loud. Other times the darkness seems to whisper- softly, deceit heavy in its tone.
Sometimes we may see everything going on around us, absurd views, twisted morals, the belief that what's wrong is right, and we have to ask ourselves, should we let it crush us? Is it possible to stand tall in a world so riddled with sin?
Because we have a wonderful tool, a beautiful gift, a Savior, Jesus Christ, it is possible to stand firm.
Imagine little me- tears ready to burst out of my eyes, an honest plea escaping my lips, "Mommy please please please leave the door open. So I can see the light?"
It's a common fear- the fear of darkness. And a fear that makes total complete sense. Darkness is often associated with Satan, while light is associated with God and his Beloved Son Jesus Christ.
As I have grown older that fear hasn't completely left me- the fear of darkness, but I think that fear has developed into something deeper. I'm not just simply afraid of physical darkness, but spiritual darkness.
One talk I heard mentioned that instead of being fearful of the monsters under our bed we should fear the darkness that comes from sin, from addictions, and things that drive away the spirit of Christ.
I wholeheartedly agree with such words- and I now recognize a greater the best source of light.
A light that will never dim. A light that if you allow, will never leave your side. A light that is brighter than the noon-day sun. A light that combats the darkness of the adversary. A light that pushes back all darkness. A light for the night, as well as the day. When the night seems as though it will never end and the darkness surrounds us- we can still find light in our Savior, Jesus Christ.
He is my night light.
His Light- His Atonement is incredible. Unfathomable. Comforting. Enabling. Beautiful. And I am ever grateful for Him.
I know without a doubt that Jesus Christ suffered for me, for everyone, and that He LIVES.
Oh it is wonderful that He is my Night Light.
