The World is a dark place
I think most of us with any mileage on us realize that the darkness seems darker and more pervasive.
The Bible never speaks of "cursing the darkness" but it does say much about the cure for darkness... which is Jesus, the light.
Jesus is the light of the World
Its not that he shines light, or brings light, he is light, and as such he shines into the darkness of men.
We are the Light of the World
Some of think that because we are messed up, or we have messed up, that God can fix us up and use us.
Have you noticed that God is an expert at unraveling messes and making them usable (show wadded up Christmas lights)
But sometimes God chooses to let us be His light in our "messed-up-ness" (notice the background)
I saw this on Beth Ashley's Facebook page the other day, and was drawn to it.
I believe if God is going to use any of us to be his light, we've got to stop waiting for perfection.
If we know Jesus we should shine for others to see Christ in us.
