Topic: How The Light Illumines Our Life In Suffering

When we suffer we lose hope. When we are suffering, the darkness comes in and surrounds us so we cannot see the Light. When we suffer, we lose our vision, we lose our expectations of the future, we are no longer making plans for the future, and we lose our communion with God.

In opposition to suffering there is hope. Hope is the result of our letting the Light into our lives and then directing the power of the Light so we can envision our future. The more of the Light we have illuminating our future vision, the more hope we possess. When we try to look ahead and we see only darkness, we lose hope. The Light illumines our lives so we can see ahead with hope and confidence. To have the Light, we must want the Light and we must want to live in a life full of the Light.

There is hope and promise in every person's life regardless of their suffering or darkness. There is hope in adversity. When you are in adversity, remember God has a job for you to do, a place for you to be, and a person you are to be for the others around you. Suffering can be no excuse for doing the job God has for you to do. Our time of suffering, like our life, is brief. Our time of reward for doing the job God has for us to do is eternal. God has a place called Paradise waiting for you, a place where there is no suffering or darkness. It is from God’s place called Paradise we find His Light of love shining down into our hearts, giving us the promise and giving us the hope we need to conquer every foe.
