Some time ago when I had a Volkswagen Beetle there
was an occasion where I was driving at night and I wanted to close the window
when I realized that the panel that controls the windows had fallen out of
place, though I tried for 10 or 15 minutes I could not fix it. Those who have a
Beetle will know that the light of these cars is of very low intensity and so consequently
I saw very little. I thought, " I'll have to take it to the car dealer!"
The next day, now with the morning light, I
looked and realized that it was very easy to fix, all I needed was light.
This story reminded me of the times we’ve tried
to "fix" our problems in
the dark, which is impossible to do
because we need the light of God to overcome everything.
The Bible says:
John 1:1-5 (NIV)
1 In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He
was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all
things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In
him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The
light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
It also says :
John 8:12 (NIV)
12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of
the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have
the light of life.”
Believe it or not, Jesus is the solution to the
problems of this life; He is the one who can "fix" everything. He brings light into your darkness and
meaning into your life. If you feel a big emptiness in your heart, remember, He
alone can fill you. Jesus is not a theory, I know because I experience Him
everyday and with him I feel complete!
