Joy: the light that made me see

Light and darkness have always been the great metaphor of my life. Jesus once said that He was the light of the world and that people who follow Him, will never walk in darkness. It seems simple: light overtakes the dark and we are given the ability to see. Without light, we are blind as bats and as fearful as children who aren’t quite sure whether there’s a monster under the bed or not, and the older we get, the more comfortable we get with the monsters, the more we make friends with them, the more we become numb to their abuse, and eventually, we too ourselves become the monster under the bed for someone else.
