Living in Candlelight

 

Even when you feel surrounded by shadows, I am moving quietly through them, kindling small flames of goodness. Look closely… My light is all around you.

And you will see it — because I am here.

Do not stare into the darkness.

Behold the candles I have placed along your path.

Yes, there is evil in the world… but there is also My goodness, steady and present.

Lift Your Eyes Beyond Life's Battles: A Vision of Hope

 
Gaze beyond. Lift your eyes from the daily battles—the wounds, the flaws, and the regrets—and peer into eternity. Those who endure the deepest suffering on this earth are chosen for a breathtaking destiny (2 Corinthians 4:17). In this temporary, sometimes arduous existence, you are molding and enriching your eternity through your attitudes and responses.

Focusing on possibilities and solutions while maintaining hope and finding joy in the present creates a sense of gratitude and purpose. I find pleasure in such attitudes from you (Hebrews 11:6). Failures are just feedback and opportunity for growth.
