John 1:5

Lately I've been starting to get that whole "I don't feel as close to my faith as I was before" and the other day at next steps a question was asked " What's your favourite bible verse" I started thinking and it had to be John 1 vs 5 which you can see in the image above. 

The verse is basically the definition of what it meant personally to become a Christian. I was in such a dark place before I came to church. Everything was consistently bottled up to the point where my heart and my head couldn't take much more. Once coming to church I found all those burdens were easier to handle. Small things like "what's going to happen in the future" suddenly doesn't seem so terrifying knowing that I have God by my side guiding me. 

I know that when I'm faced with a life changing dilemma the way won't be so dark because the light will always shine on the right way. 

I know that in my heart I will always be guided by the light. I also am aware that realistically things are going to get darker. But things will never get pitch black to the point where I can't see and my decisions and thoughts are blinded. The light will never leave. The darkness of my past will never truly rule my life like it did before. 

I'm not entirely sure the purpose of this post. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the light never leaves. There is always hope. There is always an answer to what ever burden is currently ruling your life. Look for it, and once you've found it there's no going back. 

I'm bending over backwards just so I can see you clearer, but my breath clogged up the glass, so I drew a little face and I laughed
