No doubt you’ve heard someone comment, “He or she was in a dark place.” The comment refers to a bad place, a place full of despair, distress, discouragement.
Maybe you’ve been in a dark place, a place where it’s hard to think encouraging thoughts, a place where faith has been lost.
Maybe you’re there right now.
What can you do?
You can stay there, and remain in misery, feeling sorry for yourself, or you can change the script.
Joel Osteen, in his message, Blessed in the Dark Places, relates the story of a seed. The seed is planted, not buried. He goes on to say that the dark place was necessary for the seed to become what it was meant to be. He continues saying that the heroes of the Bible found themselves in dark places, but used those times to get stronger in faith.
Are you buried or planted? If you can somehow find this dark place, a place to rise stronger, then you can use your difficulties to help become the person you were meant to be.
Let this be a day that we change our way of looking at the dark places. Believe!
