Until you have the courage to enter darkness,

You can’t bring the light.

We think it’s the end of the world when we suffer,

but the Truth is:

God gives us opportunities to illuminate the shadows with His love.

Isn’t that what you wanted all along?

Didn’t you pray to be of service?

Didn’t your whole heart long to heal the world?

When you said yes to His calling,

you just didn’t know it would be so hard.

I’m here to tell you:

Really, everything’s going to be okay.

On a level you can’t see,

everything really is already amazing.

Just hang in there, and keep praying –

shine in the darkness,

hold onto your faith.

When He delivers you out of this,

and you experience the perfection of the culmination of His plan,

you’ll be amazed by your greater capacity to radiate love.
