Without darkness, there is no faith.

We have to have darkness in our lives, we can't live without it. It's a curious statement to say

we need it, so let's  take a look at darkness. Darkness is a sense of something that is evil.

.Darkness is sinister and unforgiving. It is sometimes the very thing that brings

us to our knees without warning. It wreaks havoc with the people we love.

Knowing all of this and knowing how it plays freely in our minds and daily lives,why do we need it?   

Wouldn't we better off without it? Well, without darkness how would we recognize light? 

Darkness was here first, then came light, which exposed darkness. so we could recognize the difference.

Withour darkness, how would we know to stay close to those with light and to shy away from those 

who are surrounded by evil? 

How would we develop courage, bravery, strength, determination, resilence, etc.

without darkness? However darkness does expose certain people who may need our help providing they

will listen and may even embrace the light within them. 

There's two sides to the darkness coin. On one hand are the people who are pure evil  and want

nothing to do with light. They are steadfast in their beliefs.

 On the otherside of the coin are those that are attracted to evil and all that evil offers. We should have 

the courage to offer help in any way so that they may listen., even if they refuse it. 

Think of offering help to someone, not forcefully, but gently, as planting a seed in the ground

where it is dark and dusty, and then offering prayer similiar to water, so that seed turns

into a beautiful flower or plant reaching upward to the light, the more light the higher the growth.

Finding light in our life; doesm't that sum it up?
