3 Minute Retreat: Darkness vs Light

Darkness and light complement each other.

I know that can be a challenge to consider, but if we take a moment to go within this thought, you may be surprised by what it can show you.

When we are in the darkness it is hard to see anything other than the woe, pain or misery. Life is a struggle, and the light is impossible to grasp. We can't see gratitude, the gift, or the joy when we are sitting alone.

The day comes when light will be shown outside of this moment. It will lift us out of the sorrow and grief, showing us hope and life. It is then that the darkness will reveal that it was a road that we needed to travel in order to get to where we are today.

Where in your life have you been in a darkness so deep, but when the time came for you to embrace the light your life was transformed?

Take a moment to reflect or write about this time. Consider all the pieces of the experience and what it offered you. Embrace this process so when the darkness comes again, this memory will lift you up!
