Light changes everything
Have you ever sat in the quietness of the dawn watching the scene unfolding before you and everything gradually comes into focus as the sun rises into the heavens?
Breathtaking!
Or.... have you noticed the light that filters through the tree tops, on a warm summer's day, casting flickering shadows on the cool grass surrounding you?
Bliss!
Or.... have you observed how clouds can part and allow rays of light hit bodies of water and transform them into shimmering jewels?
Sensational!
Light can set mood, facilitate direction and promote growth.
It's uncanny how problems always seem bigger on cold, dark wintry or wet overcast days. And yet we can find comfort in lifting our face skywards, eyes shut, towards the warmth and light of the sun. Worries seem to diminish in the light of day.
Photographers can create masterpieces with their abilities to capture light in their photographs and make them extraordinary. Their understanding of light is important to transform the quality of the picture they are presenting.
Awe-inspiring!
Jesus, as the light of the world, offers us HOPE for miraculous change ---- as light miraculously transforms the landscape and mood around us ---- no matter how complex our situations are.
Inspirational!
No matter what our circumstances, Jesus in our darkest moments is a constant source of LOVE, HOPE and COMFORT. He's the light to help us in the way ahead and He is a means to letting our personal potential shine through.
