1669) One of my quirks (I know, you didn’t think I had any) is I hate feeling closed in and this includes having curtains drawn across windows. Fortunately for me, I live in a place where I don’t need to have them covered for privacy, unless I’m worried deer will look in while I’m getting out of the shower.

As I reflect on why this is true for me, I am reminded of John 1:5. Here, Jesus reminds us light shines in darkness. Light is more powerful than darkness; it’s small spark obliterates it and not the other way around.

Jesus said in John 8:12 he is the light of the world. Be encouraged, no matter what you cannot see, light always prevails.
