This beautiful light housed in the heavens is surrounded by many areas of darkness. However, its brilliance is not disturbed. It reflects the beautiful character of its creator despite the turbulence surrounding it. We can do that, too, friends. We were all given this light to shine around us. Life sometimes gets difficult, and we are prone to let the darkness diminish our brilliance, but it does not have to be that way. We have a choice to make every day to reflect the character of our creator or the chaos of our circumstances. The decision is often difficult, but our choices make all the difference! John 1:5~ The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.
