There seems to be some confusion about darkness. Darkness is not a “thing”. It does not exist on its own. Funny thing is, darkness only happens when you take away the light. Think about it, we can only make a room dark by shutting out all opportunities for light to get in.
This is true with ourselves as well. Just as plants need light to grow, so do we. Light is a source of life, and without it, life is almost impossible. Forget the scientific aspects and consider how life would be without artificial light? What would happen in your world if after the sun went down there was no other source of light? Things would have to change, right? It would be incredibly difficult to live.
This is what happens to our spirit when there is a lack of light. Where does this light come from, and where is the source? Look at this passage:
“This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.” 1 John 1:5 (NIV)
The more God in your life, the more light there will be. And if you continue filling your life with God and His light, something amazing happens: you become a light for others. Go figure…when we start to focus inward and get all wrapped up in ourselves, the outside light has trouble getting in. But if you are able to look outside yourself there is hope and light enough to push and keep any and all darkness at bay. I guess it just depends on what you are looking at.
