A Quick Thought

So if you've ever looked at a candle, you might have noticed a shadow directly at the base of the candle. Everything but that small ellipse is illuminated by the glow of the candle. Now what if the light of the candle is the light of God's truth and love? (Cheesy analogy, I know, but hold on for a sec.) Then even though we're really close to God's truth and love, we could still feel far away because we're within that shadow. I guess it's kinda like a 'dark before the dawn' thing. We're soo close to God's truth and love and we know in our core the light is still there. But we can't see it, so even though the warmth and light of God is evidenced all around us we forget He's there.

I guess what I'm trying to say is we can be so used to being in the light we forget darkness will come along. Being on God's path is one of the most dangerous places to be, because Satan knows you're following God and Satan knows that's bad news for him. On God's path, there is no 'Safe Zone' like there is in Sorry (at least not on this earth). Satan WILL attack you. You might find yourself in the dark, almost unable to remember God's warmth and light, but I promise it's there, even if you can't see it in the most direct way. Hold on, stay strong, and keep going.
