Light and dark are juxtapositions we see, but they are also influencers of more than the visible. Words with light and dark tones can capture the essence of emotion in literature. Notes, rhythm, and instrument choice give music a sense of light or dark. Internally, people experience areas of light and dark as well. In each instance, light works to convey that which is joyful, peaceful, and hopeful while the darker elements produce suspense, suspicion, and sorrow. Our lives are a blend of the two, but God has given us a promise that through Him, we can experience greater light in our lives. 1 John 1:5, 7 “... God is light, and in him is no darkness at all…But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” My husband* tells his fearful, young clients, “Darkness is afraid of the light. Turn on a flashlight and watch the darkness run and hide.” We can do the same. When darkness creeps into our souls, our minds, or our lives, we can turn on THE LIGHT and watch the shadows disappear.
