I love lights.
I used to be really scared of walking in the dark at night....
so I started forcing myself to do so..
as a result my fear became less intense, but I would still much rather have a light.
I was in Disneyland last week.
Disneyland is the best at night.
The lights make it ethereal.
It's magical in the day time...
but it's even more magical at night.
Tonight I was driving home and like I sometimes do,
I took the long way.
and on the long way, I kept seeing flickering lights.
One of the lights on a bank building was going on and off.
A lighted sign couldn't decide whether it wanted to be bright or dark.
Flickering lights are uncanny.
Lights are not usually supposed to flicker.
It usually means that the power source is lacking.
Or that there is a shortage in the wiring.
Jesus said that we are supposed to be light in this world.
He said that we are supposed to shine like stars.
Seeing all those flickering lights made me ask myself what kind of light I am.
and in what way I shine.
I want to be a light that shines bright always.
I want to be a light that brings stability and hope into darkness.
I want to be a light that does not shy away from darkness, but approaches it boldly,
knowing that I am Jesus' plan.
WE are Jesus plan to displace the darkness in this world.
WE carry His light within us.
and WE get to choose whether we flicker on and off, or remain steadily displaying the light of truth.
That's amazing.
