Advent - We Have Found The Kingનમૂનો

How dark can darkness get? Possibly darker than the darkest night? When one walks in such darkness, many thoughts go through the mind. How long will the darkness last? Is it possible to find one’s way in such darkness? What will happen if the way is lost in the darkness? Can it possibly get any darker? Hesitation and uncertainty set in. Doubt and fear take control. The shadow of death looms…

Darkness is the absence of light. And many times that absence is difficult to overcome. But often, with the absence of light, comes the longing and hope for light. Dreams and faith bring encouragement and confidence that a great light will soon shine. Then when that great light is seen, when the darkness is broken, The Way is found. Darkness is overcome. The Light defeats death!

Wonderful. Counselor. Prince of Peace. Everlasting Father. Mighty God. Overcomer of darkness. Defeater of death. The Great Light of the world. Jesus! My Jesus!!

If you have ever walked in the deepest darkness of life; if you have ever dwelled in the shadow of death; if you have ever doubted or feared - you know what hope and encouragement The Light brought to you when His brightness shined down.

Now is the time to allow Him to be The Light to others through you. Through you will He erase their doubts and fears; through you will He bring them hope and encouragement; through you will The Light defeat eternal death; through you will the world see The Great Light! For unto us a Child is born. Jesus! My Jesus!!
