Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
I find comfort knowing that God is in the “light” and the “darkness”. He must be – He created both. When we are experiencing good and bad (dark) times, He is with us. He never leaves us. When OUR actions create our dark times, we sometimes can't comprehend that He will continue to love us despite those transgressions. We just need to turn our lives back around to face His light (His love) and He will welcome us into His arms. He never shuts us out - we are the ones that walked away from Him.
The same holds true when the darkness we find ourselves in is through no fault of our own. God is there during those times, too. He is there to embrace us… to wrap us in His loving arms… to offer a peace beyond all understanding. God is there to bring us back into the Light – Because He loves us!
Matthew 10:29-31
"What's the price of a pet canary? Some loose change, right? And God cares what happens to it even more than you do. He pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail—even numbering the hairs on your head! So don't be intimidated by all this bully talk. You're worth more than a million canaries."
Jeremiah 1:5
Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the LIGHT of day, I had holy plans for you...
