I think b...Light has been on my mind a lot lately. I think because I see so much darkness right now. The passage that has been coming to me over and over again in worship is John 1:4-5 "In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." (John seems to really like the light imagery.)<br /><br />I know that some translations have "understood" instead of "overcome" but this translation speaks more to my condition right now. If you light a candle in a dark room it will produce light. Even if you could squeeze more and more darkness into that space, the candle would still give off light. Darkness can not overcome light. That is my source of hope.Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10698234299108455227noreply@blogger.com
