Have you ever been in a dark room fumbling to find the light switch? You can’t see a thing, and you know if you don’t turn the light on you’re bound to stumble over something…right? It’s a vulnerable and insecure feeling. But once you find the switch, flip it on, and the light floods the room, instantly all that stumbling insecurity disappears. And that’s just a dark room. Imagine a dark soul. That’s much more important than a room. If you don’t have a true connection with how you got here and where you’re going, it’s like stumbling around in the dark your whole life. But what if you found the switch, flipped it on, and the light of life burst into your soul?
Suddenly your path would illuminate, and your direction would be clear. You would know where you came from and where you’re going and your insecurities could be inundated with clarity, purpose, and love. Yes love. Love flows freely from a contented and secure heart. Selfishness lies like a stagnant pond in a dark soul. Selfishness stunts growth. It pollutes hope. It destroys faith.
Where is the switch you flip to turn on the light of life?
In your heart.
If you suffer from a bad case of dark soul, you can change it with a heart transplant. Your dark, selfish heart can be replaced by a living, loving heart when you trust in your living, loving Creator. God’s not a silly notion that a bunch of Christian rule-makers came up with. He’s not a figment of some writer’s imagination. He’s more real than everything else in the universe. The evidence of His existence is all around you…everywhere inside you. All that’s required of you is to open your eyes…then open your heart and ask Him in. He’ll do it that moment. And that’s how you flip the switch and turn on the light of life.
The best news is…you flip the switch once, and that light will never burn out. Will you do it today? Tomorrow isn’t a guarantee.
Give Me The Light
Well the light shines, and it’s coming from above.
I can’t ignore it because I know deep down it’s love,
And it shows me that the time is close at hand,
And I’m beginning to think I might just understand.
I’ve waited so long for the perfect time and place,
And made a whole lot of mistakes I can’t erase.
Destined to live in darkness I supposed,
But you can’t see the light when your eyes are closed.
So give me the light oh give me the light of Your love.
Give me the light. I wanna see how good it can be.
Give me the light oh give me the light of Your love.
Give me the light that’s gonna set this blind man free.
Well, I daydream, and I do my best to fly,
But something holds me; it doesn’t matter how I try.
Oh, but someday, when You say the time is right,
I know I’ll fly up and live forever in Your light.
