God’s Benefits #3

Have you ever experienced the world without colour? Gray, lifeless, hopeless, flat, cold, And then the light shines and the world comes alive, meaningful.

Light is mentioned all through Scripture, and with light comes colour. Maybe only a person who has gone through the darkness can really appreciate light colour. Many of us most of the time take it for granted. We take it for granted until it is taken away. Such a “common” everyday thing. So usual, so constant.

Like God who made it, it is everywhere; and so we cease to notice it. We are blind in the light to the Light. Until it is taken away. Then we wish for it back.

Does God have to withdraw all His blessings before we appreciate them? It would seem so. He gave them one by one and He can withdraw them one by one.

So let us not be afraid at the events happening around us. God withdraws blessings in order to return them with fuller meaning. Yes, our daily blessings so constant as to be unnoticed will be withdrawn, but as light follows night, so God the Creator of light and colour and every precious thing will restore all blessings in brighter more vivid hues than ever before.

We must walk through the dark to get to the light.
AMEN
