Nightmares: A Spectral Guide
With every haunting nightmare an opportunity to summon courage and resilience is ignited.
Without darkness, the intensity of the light that emerges beyond the shadows cannot be rightly appreciated.
To some, this may seem counterintuitive.
Darkness is associated with negativity, fear, and uncertainty…
…It is precisely because of these aspects of darkness that the intensification of Light becomes powerful & awe-inspiring, leaving us no option but to praise Him.
In a world, where an artificial brightness perpetually envelopes us, shielding us from darkness, we are deprived from experiencing the full essence of life.
Without the contrasting interplay of Light and dark, we are devoid of the intense vibrancy that God calls us to live in… dark & light / Joy & pain are the fullness of Life.
Relief of Darkness Invokes Praise
Without the dark, there would be no variation or contrast in our perspective, and as a result, there would be no opportunity for authentic admiration and genuine appreciation for the One Who is the brilliance of Light.
It is the existence of darkness that enables us to genuinely comprehend and experience a thankful heart in the midst of pain.
Discernment is found within the Illuminated Darkness.
When we find ourselves engulfed in the black hole, whether it be metaphorically in our lives or physically in the absence of light, it is difficult to see beyond the shadows.
We become trapped, lost, and blinded by our own limitations and lack of growth.
In the depths of despair, even the tiniest flicker of light has a profound impact on our lives.
The presence of God is never overlooked when we fully experience our emotions, the good and ugly.
He offers guidance, solace, and the assurance that there is an reward when the darkness is endured– and not just any reward, but we’re distanced from the deceptive ploy of the artificial light.
When the Divine Light of God, Who is God, emerges, He radiates with full brilliance, evoking within us a profound and genuine sense of Worship.
This deep longing can only be born through trials and tribulations due to our dual nature. Born into a life characterized by darkness, suffering, and pain, we await eternal life and bliss.
However, it is this very struggle that will ultimately lead us to freedom from these earthly burdens.
As the flame flickers in a pitch-black room, the true flame casts its gentle illumination. You begin to see as your vision adjusts, and it slowly dispels the darkness, as well as your blindness.
A bright led light will blind you…
The Contrast Captivates
This contrast is what captivates our soul and touches us deep within our souls.
In the same way, the darkness in our lives allows us to savor the moments of joy, success, and triumph.
It gives us the opportunity to fully embrace and celebrate the Light that emerges, genuinely grateful.
Without the stark difference between light and darkness, these moments would lose their impact.
Do not fear the darkness, but rather recognize its role in heightening the power and effect of the Worship of God when His Light saves you out of the dark.
If you do fear darkness, it’s okay, walk through it still, as the payout is well worth the walk …
