There is a fine line between Light and Darkness.
Yet somehow, they define one another.
The contrast is bold and blunt.
The lines, defined and thin.
As the Light changes, the Darkness diminishes.
Even without the blinds fully opening, the Light still wins.
As the Light filters through the blinds, casting shadows on the ceiling I am aware of the irony.
The blinds are designed to keep Light out, yet it still filters through, challenging the Darkness to give way.
Darkness, blinded by the very light it is designed to keep out.
How ironic that the blinds actually cast the Light.
Even more ironic when the Light is so bright it blinds.
Isn’t that how Grace works too?
Grace infiltrates the darkness that blinds us, shames us, and even threatens to change us.
Grace penetrates in spite of Darkness and forges new openings, new beginnings, and new hope.
Tomorrow is a new day.
Let the Light come in!
Let it penetrate, infiltrate, and define.
May you be blinded by the Light that overcomes the Darkness.
And may you be filled with fresh Hope as the blinds give way to Grace.
