Not only children battle with the fear of the dark.
Darkness is a metaphor for the unknown.
Darkness can’t DO anything except veil or hide what is there.

UNKNOWN WHAT AND WHY

“I don’t know.” “I’m not sure.”
Let’s start here: You cannot be worried about EVERY POSSIBLE thing that could happen!

NO DARKNESS

THE LIGHT WITHIN
God’s Light is real. No maybe’s, no doubts, no unknowns.
He has revealed Himself.
Every person who has accepted that Light, Christ Jesus, has the Light of the world in them.
The first place it’s going to shine – into YOUR darkness. It will reveal the hidden things IN YOU.
LET IT SHINE!

Fear God more than anything else. Above ALL, and EVERYONE, no matter what, WANT to please Him.
Do what is right. NO matter what.
