Darkness to Light

Dear Reader-

Darkness to Light

"Boo-hoo!" she cries,

"I'm scared of the shadows!

It's too dark in here.

I can't see!"

"But sweetheart those shadows,

are angels from Heaven,

sent to watch over you,

and keep you safe from harm."

"Mommy, I'm scared!

Please don't leave.

Sing me a song,

tell me a story."

"Okay, my love,

let's sing Jesus loves me,

and all will be well

because Jesus lives here."

"There are only scary things,

in the dark,

monsters and ghosts,

trying to get me."

"No, dear, that's not true.

The only ghost here,

is the Holy Ghost.

He's our comfort and peace."

"But I cannot see Him,

and I am still scared.

Please, Mommy, please,

let me leave the light on!"

"Well, my sweet,

I will bring you a light,

a soft glowing light,

that calms your little heart."

After shining the light,

the darkness lifts just a bit,

the girl's terror is changed,

to smiles and peace.

Knowing now she can see,

the dark darkness is gone.

All her fears are relieved,

by His Presence, His Light.

"God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all" 1 John 2:4

"For you light my lamp; The Lord my God illumines my darkness" Psalm 18:28

Celebrating the Light and peace that He brings,
