DARKNESS

Craig Harrison's Coffee with Jesus reflections provide a healthy cup of daily inspiration to start your day. Cover art by

As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking of DARKNESS.  It’s 4:10 in the morning, so it’s pretty dark outside.  A few people have their lamps on in the window, but other than that, it’s dark. Sometimes in our lives, we find ourselves in darkness, even when it’s bright and sunny outside. 

Many people can find themselves in very dark and sad places.  That’s when they must remember the sunrise!  The LIGHT is there, just ready to come out and bring us bright HOPE and PEACE!  We must remember that this, too, will pass, and we will be in HIS LIGHT.  We must just patiently wait and trust.  So, when going through a dark period, remember that JESUS, the LIGHT, will shine.  And we wouldn’t appreciate the LIGHT if we never experienced the darkness. 

Today, I will wait for the LIGHT.  I KNOW it is coming.  I think I love this time of the morning best when, out of the darkness, it becomes LIGHT.  Then I can see so much more than I ever saw in the dark.  As I sit here and reflect, my street is coming alive.  More lights are coming on, people are getting up, and soon the SUN will be shining. 

Have a blessed day, basking in the LIGHT!

Good Morning Father Craig , thank you for your message today . I feel like I’m in darkness right now waiting for my son to get a liver transplant and seeing him so sick and not enjoying life . But I pray everyday that he will get his transplant and that he and I will see light again. I should be thankful he is still here with me and I am . I just don’t want to see him everyday in pain . I know there’s hope . Please pray for him . Have a Blessed and Beautiful Day and enjoy your trip you deserve it. ❤️ 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
