Into the Light

I love that moment when you are talking to someone and you say something that you have no doubt are words from God. Well that happened to me tonight. I was talking to a friend when I said something and as soon as I texted it I was like wow that was good preaching, God. I knew there was no way I came up with it, but instead God working through me. This is pretty much what was said...

Everything happens for a reason. I don't necessarily like a lot of the things in 

 my past, but I don't keep them under lock and key and try to forget them. I know that 

through those experiences God worked something out for the good and turned 

that experience into something that grew me. So maybe while you are trying to shove 

things into the dark, God is trying to show you it in a new perspective, in His light. 

Things always look better with light shining on them. 

But really that is good preaching. Maybe that same concept can be applicable to your situation as well. Maybe you need to stop shoving all of your regrets deeper into darkness and instead let the light shine upon them to see what God has to say. In the Bible it says to boast in our weaknesses so that we can see Christ's strength through them (2 Corinthians 11:30 and 2 Corinthians 12:9).  So let God's light shine off it and reflect to everyone around.
