"And this is my prayer, that your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight to help you determine what is best, so that in the day of Christ you may be pure and blameless, having produced the harvest of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God." -- Philippians 1:9-11

Day 30: Light

Light can do some pretty spectacular things.  Because of light we can see.  Light gives us rainbows and sunsets.  Light bends and gives us lots of physics homework problems.

Without light, there is darkness (good work Sherlock).  I am afraid of the dark.  I am afraid of what I cannot see that might be lurking in the quietest corners.  It seems noteworthy to me that the boundary between light and dark is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

We often stop and pause when the sun rises or the sun sets, and splashes of color fill the sky as time passes dark to light, and then light to dark.  It is in these moments of transition that we most often stop and take in the surrounding beauty of creation, before going back to our day and our to-do lists.

There is beauty in change.  Though I may be nervous about where the future is heading, or what the darkness may bring forth, there is beauty in the path to get there.  And after the darkness, after the difficulty of trials and new things, there is beauty once more as we transition back to light, and back to the known and familiar.
