LIGHT WILL SHINE IN THE DARK
A poem and essay by ILMA
Those who are in darkness will see a great light
Fear not for the Lord will give hope and sight
It is in total darkness the light shines through
It is by depending on him that you’ll be renewed.
Light will shine in the dark and can’t be extinguished
Hope will be given back to them; it won’t be diminished
The light will guide them back to the love of the Lord
It will help them to navigate through this dark world.

There were many years of my life that I lived in total darkness. I went through a phase of desperation in my teen life that I almost succeeded ending my miserable life. The Lord had a plan and didn’t let me die. He used this darkness to teach me how to rely on him totally. One of my weaknesses is “rebelling”. It detoured my journey to God. Just like the Israelites took them to reach their promised land. The trip should have taken just 11 days; instead it took them 40 years. It also took me 40 years to have the light shine in my life when I gave up rebellion and opt to obey God.
PRAYER
Thank you for shining on me in my darkest times Lord.
REFLECTION
Why should a believer never lose hope?

LIGHT SHINES IN THE DARK
A poem and essay by ILMA
How long have you been groping in the dark?
Would you want to be free and have a new start?
When you live a life full of darkness
It is not very hard to be hopeless.
Whenever you live in sin and confusion
You will be in constant desperation
You need to repent and confess
Light will shine in the dark if you profess.

There are many people who live their whole lives in total darkness. They have no idea what the purpose of their lives are. They are like puppets to the dictates of the world. They are controlled by their sinful nature and are slaves of their own desires. They have been kept so much in the lies that the enemy had made them believe for many years. They do things without thinking of repercussions of their actions. They never consult God for anything in their lives. Then they wonder why their lives are all so messed up.
God promised to give light to those people who are walking in darkness. He gave us Jesus, the light that covers all darkness.
PRAYER
Lord, shine on all darkness in this world.
REFLECTION
What darkness in your life do you need to let God’s light in?
