I am afraid of the dark

In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

- John 1:4-5

I am afraid of the dark, I admit it – I am almost 50 years old (86 more days!) and I truly do not like the dark.

I need some light, some way to see my way through.

Jesus is a light, being in His presence lights my path, keeps me focused.

But what if “darkness” is a metaphor, rather than being the absence of light, it is something deeper, something evil?

Jesus is still the light, the darkness will not overcome Him.

In my house, I have lamps and glow-y things to help me see.

In my soul, I have Jesus.

Have a blessed day.
