32/365- Radiate


I love the explosiveness of the light in this picture. It reminds me how, as Christ followers, we are to be lights in a cold and darkened world. Even the smallest of lights can produce powerful results, and reach the darkest of areas.

The other thing I want to point out is the that while this scene may look peaceful, the truth is that it was created by a harsh set of events. Strong winds, freezing temperatures, and a great deal of snow pounded our homes today. As the blizzard roared, problems emerged. This is how it is in our lives. We often find ourselves in the middle of life's storms and blizzards. Problems and struggles arise and test our relationships, courage, integrity, and our faith. But when we trust Christ and look to Him to be the light of our lives, we are able to endure the toughest of storms. Then, when everything settles, this becomes a picture of our lives. Everything is at peace once again and the only thing that shines through is Christ, our Light, radiating in the darkness.
