I don't know how many people can relate to this, but I somehow find myself realizing that every time I hear a Sunday morning sermon, it has SOMETHING to do with what I've been struggling with. God always finds some way to answer my prayers, my cries, through Sunday morning worship. It's not a coincidence to me when my heart goes through so much and finds itself broken in DARKNESS , then come Sunday morning I am faced with these words...just listen to them...

" In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:1-5

Such a powerful truth. I drown myself in darkness so many times when I should be igniting the light of Christ in all my struggles. My heart praises Him for showing this to me through my pastor.

A wise and wonderful friend said something to me the other day that I try to keep in mind, especially when I'm tempted to succumb to the darkness that wants to bring me down...

Today is a day we have never lived before, and we will never live again, and tomorrow is a new day.

Amen.
