The Light

The light comes and chases away darkness.  Chases away fear.  It fills the sky with color and newness.  It fills the heart with hope.  When the Light comes, fear recedes.  Learning to walk in the light, seek the light, are imperative to healing.  Not being afraid of truth.  I have spent so much time holding together what is falling apart.  So much time hiding how he really treats me..us,  that sometimes the light feels foreign.  Like a flashlight in the eyes on a dark night.  Uncomfortable.  But light is beautiful.  With light, good things are revealed.  With light, the unknown is put to rest.  Beauty is evident.  But, the light of day means that it's time to get up and get going.  And, the light that comes in the soul means the same thing, that it's time to DO what needs to be done.  Light is coming into my life regarding this life I've lived, and it is going to require me to get up and get going.  To decide.  To act.  To choose.  At the moment, it is still dawn, but the light is coming.  Oh God, let me be courageous and ready.  And until then, let me simply rest.
grace to you.
