So we are even more confident of the message proclaimed by the prophets. You will do well to pay attention to it, because it is like a lamp shining in a dark place until the Day dawns and the light of the morning star shines in your hearts - 2 Peter 1:19
When night falls, daylight would turn to darkness. For us living near the Equator, we have somewhat equal daylight and darkness almost throughout the whole year. In other countries, summer days would have longer sunlight. Nonetheless, when the clock strikes midnight, almost all would have fallen asleep. Our bodies need to rest and be still to recuperate and be recharged.
If we want to have love in our hearts, we too need to take stock and recharge our love capacity to ensure that we would be able to remove hatred and prejudices. Like a lamp, we cannot hide behind any pretence. In darkness of wrong doings, we will even stand out more prominently as children of God. We are born in the image of our Father and there is no escape. We must remain consistent and shine forth both in the day and in the night. To serve Jesus is to carry His Cross. With the Cross before us, there is nothing in this world behind or around us that we should be worried about.
In a world full of speculations, only God's Word is certain.
