SHINING IN DARKNESS
Hey Beautiful Soul, Light up!
INSIGHT:
In the hustle and bustle of daily life, we often forget to pause and reflect on the inner light that guides us. We might be living in a world full of darkness but we have a mandate to shine even in the darkness!
DEEP REFLECTION:
Black, dark, empty;
These were my adjectives.
I knew who I was;
But here I was in a world full of darkness.
I tried to shine;
But the light overshadowed me.
So diving into His Word,
I affirmed who I was.
Oh yes! I’m a light!
And darkness has no way in me.
Why didn’t I take charge long ago?
It’s not late though.
I’ll take charge now!
Because He that lives in me.
Oh, He’s a light stronger than currents from Akosombo;
Ɛfiri sɛ Odom o.
So here I am,
A light overtaking the darkness.
AFFIRMATION:
I am a beacon of light and positivity. My inner light guides me, bringing clarity, peace, and joy to my life and the World.
