I recently had a vision of the future that made me want to cry happy tears. In this season where we dwell in great darkness, it is nice to turn our focus on those rays of hope. Frankly all the "doom and gloom" has really started to affect my mental and physical health. I saw this future as one where everyone had a job they loved to do, they had resources they needed and everyone had the freedom to do what they wanted. I know that vision isn't practical. Not everyone will have a job they love to do. Not everyone will have the resources they need, and not everyone has the freedom to do what they want.
Some may that hope is overrated. The great darkness surrounds us with depressing images of a draconian society. I can hear them laughing at our struggles to free ourselves from the great darkness. They press us with hopeless messages of despair and pain. Yet those rays of hope poke through the darkness and shine light on their evil deeds. They can't hide. Hope always blooms.
I hate the changes our society is going through now. Some may say that they are the result of our compliance with the disintegration of our moral compass. We allowed the evil to flourish. Yet we now complain when we see the bitter fruits of this compliance with the Devil and his minions.
There are some rays of hope that pierce the great darkness. Nothing will remain hidden. It will all be brought to light soon. I do rejoice to see the movement of many who want to take back their freedom from tyrannical governments. They see the darkness, and want to shine the light on the ugly corruption. They will be exposed soon. When that day comes, we will rejoice that God has brought us through the dark sea.
I see a great vision where God is magnified and exalted throughout the whole world. It is a beautiful vision. I feel the tears in my eyes when I realize I have been set free...
Oh, Lord...Thank you for those rays of hope in this great darkness. Thank you for the light of your word that shines brighter than the sun in the sky. It is you, Lord that carries us through the storm. I don't have to be afraid of this dark storm that seems to overcrowd the sky. I can lean on the Lord, my Savior.
I am a vessel in God's hands. This great darkness can't hide me from God. He sees me even then and loves me with a love that is indescribable. I am amazed that he could love me. I am nothing special. Yet he signals me out to stand in his presence and bask in his radiant love. I don't deserve his love. None of us do. He sends those rays of hope, so we may know him.
