"Shining Light in the Darkness:

In the wake of tragedy, we're reminded that light shines brightest in darkness. John 1:5 tells us 'the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.' This powerful truth echoes through recent events, showing us that even in our darkest moments, God's light cannot be extinguished. We're called to be that light, to love our enemies and do good to those who persecute us. It's a challenging call, but one that can transform lives and communities. As we face a world filled with hate and division, let's remember that only love can drive out hate. Our response to tragedy and persecution can be a powerful testimony of God's love and grace. How can we shine God's light in our daily lives, even when faced with opposition or misunderstanding?
