Why we walk in Darkness

 

We walk in darkness to cloak our brokenness, but the light is calling.

Trauma, rejection and scarcity aren't just events in our history, but they are evil alchemists too. This nasty trio turns your mental juices into depression, makes your heart circulate bitterness, and turns your hope to expect only failure - for one reason only - to keep you in the dark.

We mistakenly believe that darkness is our friend and will tend to our wounds, but the darkness only lets them fester.

Darkness keeps us separated from others too, just in case someone points out our weakening state and offers real help, real solutions, real love.

It's in light that we find healing.

It is in light that we discover our worth.

Yes, I know that those that hand a hand in breaking you claimed to represent the light. But it remains, in their brokenness, their attempts to help you failed. Forgive them.

Forgive them and seek your wholeness. We can't find it by night. We find it in the light.

We find our healing by sharing, by connecting, by listening, and by offering up what remains of our soul to love others, deeply and without restriction.

Oh, this is the opposite to what you have been told, contrary to logic. Isolation, defences and polarization are the techniques used by the darkness to keep you angry, to keep you invisible, to ensure you remain broken.

Darkness wants you to believe that your brokenness allowed your purpose and value to leak out, and drain away.

It is when we embrace the foolish light of giving love, time and an ear to others around us that we discover the miracle of harvesting what we have sown. Pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing, people will give, they offer healing, will listen, cooperate, and will love.

The Light is calling. In her left hand is courage, and in her right hand is providence. It is time to exit the darkness and to embrace Light and all that she has for you.
