It has been said, “it’s darkest before the dawn”, however; there are times in our lives the sun is shining brightly, yet; all you see is darkness. The pain of the past keeps your mind in bondage, it seems you just can’t get a break, no one understands the hardships you’re enduring, and there is no relief in sight. Many of us live in darkness, there is no light or hope in our hearts.

We are constantly fighting just to survive the night as we await the new day and the beginning of a new struggle. Some think it would be better to just remove ourselves from the landscape of time. Once upon a time I was one of those, but; I sought the Lord and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears. When we seek Him with all our hearts we will find Him.

When we allow Him a place in our hearts, we will walk in light as He is in the light; there is no darkness at all in Him. The spirit of darkness that holds us captive will lose it’s power as light penetrates every fiber of our being. This is not to be taken as a easy process, darkness will not submit without a fight; it will remind you of all the wrongs and reasons you are unworthy of living in the light. How unworthy of forgiveness you may be.

It wants you to doubt the love that is searching for you. It knows if you do not ask, you can’t receive and if you don’t seek, you will not find. You must block out the voice that says you are hopeless, unlovable, not worthy, or unforgiveable. Only when you fail to accept the power of loves light will you experience the darkest hour. When all hope is gone and your heart is void of light, darkness will rule.
