When we have a moment of clarity in which light is shined upon something that only seemed to hang out in the dark we have a decision to make. Sometimes we draw comfort from not knowing. We can continue to operate as we always have and do not need to engage in discomfort so we don’t mind the lack of lucidity. This very human behavior stands in stark contrast to a world expounding the idea we are valued by how much we know. Especially when it comes to lucidity in areas of our lives that people do not normally talk about, we definitely think darkness is our best bet. We are certain if it were to be brought to the light others would pounce on it and condemn us. On my daily dates with God I have begun to see the areas of darkness are only dark because of the glasses through which I am viewing them. When I use the eyes of my heart, lucidity is the best option. God creates us with the courage to bring the light to the darkness. God dwelling in our hearts does not seek to condemn what lucidity unveils. If we are to trust God is a power greater than ourselves, then we are invited to hold the possibility that God’s view of darkness is different from ours.
