Hope Shined Through the Darkness
The same is true with the word, Christ. He is light. The very mention of his name means light, brightness and positive things. When one focuses on Christ, no matter what is going on in his or her life, especially if everything looks bleak and hopeless, talking and reading about Christ and the many miracles and deeds he performed, and how he wants only the best for everyone, actually forces one -believer or non--to know that everything will turn out alright. For this to happen, faith and belief in His powers and who He is, must be achieved.
No matter how dark the forces are in your life, hope can be found with the light of Jesus Christ. In him, there is no darkness, no gloom---only light and the promise of hope!
I saw Christ and his light when my husband was critically ill about five years ago. He had a terrible case of the flu, which led to an immune disorder. As the weeks went by in the cold months of 2001, my husband got weaker and weaker. The situation looked hopeless.
After several months and searching for an answer, we found a physician who led us to an answer. From a throat examination, he found that the immune disorder was brought on by a food allergy that was genetic and a situation that can happen to anyone, anytime. The test that revealed this disorder is called an endoscopy exam. Finding out the root problem of the disease, gave us hope and with that hope, light and the remembrance of Christ and His love for us. My husband was beginning to lose hope because he was weak and scared. I couldn't give up hope, for it was the one thing that sustained me; that and my love for my husband.
Later, because my husband was becoming so weak and susceptible to other illnesses, he underwent a blood transfusion, several cancer screenings and monthly blood checks. About a year later, he was back on track, his blood level once again normal. Through it all, Christ sustained and carried us through. We didn't lose hope or faith in God, but we came close. Daily prayer and Bible reading kept us going and on track. Psalm 91 and Christ's saying, "I will neither leave you nor forsake you" sustained us day in and day out. His light of truth, love and hope was constant and comforting. So, now you can see why Christ and light mean hope to me. It can for you, too.
