Sometimes we believe darkness has won.

Then a single light appears.

And everything changes.

There are seasons in life when darkness feels overwhelming.

The diagnosis.

The loss.

The disappointment.

The betrayal.

The uncertainty.

The waiting.

The loneliness.

The darkness whispers a dangerous lie.

It tells us it is permanent.

It tells us nothing will change.

It tells us hope has left.

Yet darkness has a weakness.

It cannot create itself.

It only exists where light is absent.

THE CANDLE

Imagine entering a vast dark room.

Fear immediately grows.

Uncertainty grows.

Confusion grows.

Then someone lights a single candle.

The darkness does not argue.

It does not negotiate.

It retreats.

Not because the candle is enormous.

Because light always possesses authority darkness does not.

PEARLS FROM THE BOOKS

One of the recurring truths throughout God I AM is that truth illuminates what fear attempts to hide.

As written in God I AM:

“Light does not fight darkness. It simply appears.”

There is tremendous wisdom in those words.

THE FORGETFULNESS OF FEAR

Fear causes forgetfulness.

We forget our strength.

We forget our resilience.

We forget our purpose.

We forget previous victories.

We forget how many times life has already carried us through impossible situations.

Fear narrows vision.

Light restores perspective.

THE DAWN

Every night eventually reaches morning.

Every winter eventually reaches spring.

Every storm eventually exhausts itself.

Every season changes.

Life itself teaches this lesson repeatedly.

The darkness is not proof that light is gone.

It is proof that dawn is still coming.

THE INVITATION

Perhaps today is not asking you to solve everything.

Perhaps today is asking you to become the candle.

Offer encouragement.

Offer kindness.

Offer hope.

Offer wisdom.

Offer faith.

One small light can transform an entire room.

THE DISCOVERY

The light was never missing.

Sometimes we simply forgot where to look.

And sometimes we discover it was within us all along.
