Good morning world! I hope you all are having a super day. Here the sun is shining and they say, that regardless of the fact that right now it is 6 degrees Celsius out there, we are in for a hot day. Would never say it is winter in Cape Town the way the weather has been this week.
At least it has put a lot of Capetonians in a much better mood. Having the sun around does do that to us. Which makes me wonder...
Why is it that everyone is in such a better mood when the sun shines? What is it in us that makes happier in the sun?
If it is raining for days nonstop, we all get depressed and angry at the world. J.K. Rowling, created these monsters called 'dementors' in her books that breeds in mist and foul weather. Their sole purpose is to suck all happiness from the humans nearby. I can completely relate to that. It is as if everyone goes mental and derailed of their faculties when the weather turns foul. Even the smallest child sub-come to it.
When it is dark outside, many of us live in fear of one sort or the other, while waiting for the sun to come out again. Either real fears for ones safety, or emotional fears about all our worries weighing us down.
And normally, the answers come when the sun is out. The fears melt away to a point where you can deal with it.
But, then there is the greatest darkness. The one that binds you. It blinds you to all normal light. It throws you into a deep dark pit of depression, and like being kissed by a dementor, you are left soulless, living an existence with no joy, no hope, no love. Just a big hole of nothingness left in your heart and mind. There is almost no real cure for it.
Doctors pump you full of drugs, that is suppose to help. And sometimes it helps for a while, but soon that darkness is back. It sneaks up on you and snare you into its claws one more time. It becomes a vicious cycle of take drugs, feel better for a while and then you are back in the pit. Take more drugs, feel better for a while and then you are back in the pit. And this just keeps going on.
So is there a real cure? Is there a way we can get out of this darkness forever?
I believe yes. It worked for me, and for countless other people who also struggled.
You see, there is a Greater Light. One that no darkness, however great, can hide.
This Light will give you the joy, the hope, the love and the forgiveness you need to help you see the Light. Once you walk in this Light, the darkness will try to overcome you and steel you away, but if you clang to the Light and hold onto His Word, you will never again be caught. Jesus is the light, the way and the truth, no one can enter the Light if not through Jesus. (Read John 14.)
This is why, we normal people feel happier when the sun shines. It is God's reminder of the Bigger Light, His SON, that He has send into this world to safe us all from the darkness.
So today I want to bless you all, by praying that today and every other day here after, you will wander in the Light of God. Never to be stolen away from His grace.
If you need assistance in finding this Light, and you can't send me a personal message, speak to minister or a Christian friend nearby. Or any person, that you know is a follower of Christ. We will all be delighted to help you find the Light.
May the Joy of God, fill your day and weekend.
From Little old me.
