“May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
When your life is plunged into darkness, do you let your Light shine or do you cower in the dark?
One of my all-time favorite books is The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien. In it, the path Frodo must take is filled with uncertainty and he's unsure what to do. Without warning, he's surrounded by darkness. But he has a secret weapon, a light to shine bright in the murky depths.
We're a lot like Frodo. Without warning, the floor beneath our feet drops out and we're sitting in the dark, not able to see three feet in front of our face. What to do, what to do?
Each of us has a light that will combat the darkness. Some may call it faith while others call it hope. I call it Light. It has the ability to guide us through the dark even if we can't see where we're going. Hold tight to the Light and when needed, let it surround you while lighting the path you need to walk.
Frodo used his light and succeeded in his mission. You have the same ability inside you. Stop cowering and start shining!
