Trending: When You Are HurtingSample

Can we just be honest for a minute? Sometimes the world around us feels dark. That’s just the truth. Life gets hard, our circumstances get difficult, bad things happen, and suddenly, sadness just feels like it’s all around us. But remember that wherever there is darkness, there is always room for light. In the dark times in life, there is still hope for light. Jesus came to bring light to the darkest places and deepest pains in our lives. When we turn to Him and follow Him, we have access to the kind of light that can bring us back to life. Is there a dark place of pain you’re dealing with right now in your life? Pray that God would send His light into that place to bring life and love back into it.
