This morning I was thinking about what it means to be a light to the darkness and remembering the experiences I had in that arena while working over the summer. I determined that I want to be the kind of person who runs headlong into the night, taking light to the darkest corners of this world. Though it is not comfortable, and though it will certainly be lonely, why should I fear being in the dark? That is where I am supposed to be. If God calls me to go and to go alone, let nothing stop me! I will run like a madman into the depths and shine the light that He has given me as my charge. What more could I ask but to surrender myself to this mission, whatever the cost? Look for me if you will. I will be the one running for the darkness.Labels: reflections
