Light to shine






It is God's presence that assures us that He is with us, even though we may not see the way ahead so clearly. St. Paul says that though we are weak vessels, this light that shines within us is the manifestation of the invaluable treasure of the presence of God. Though we may be troubled on every side, yet we are not distressed; we may be perplexed, but are not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed. All of us, at some stage in life, go through periods of darkness. It is during these times that we come to encounter God's presence in an intimate way.

2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
