The Light Of Faith

You cannot let the weight of this world outshine the light that you carry within. – Full of Grace

It isn’t easy to explain one’s faith. But it is like a light that illuminates everything in our life that’s dark and cold and bitter. We may not always have the words to describe it, but would we rather lose our faith just because we cannot express it the way the world wants us to?

Would we rather go back to the darkness where we were? To meaninglessness and loneliness, and to hurting the ones we love?

Would we rather live being merely swayed by our passions – without hope, without true love, without purity in our heart?

What kind of life would we rather live? What kind of existence would we rather go back to?

How does one even begin to explain what faith really is?

Faith is not about explaining things. It is about living, and breathing and walking in that light that is upon us. But we will suffer in the light. Sometimes our souls will be squeezed to dry down to the very deepest roots. We will wither and grow weary to where we cannot take one step more. The light will fade to the faintest glimmer. Nothing more than a grain of sand upon the shore. But the light will never disappear. This walk of faith comes with a promise. The promise that we will never be abandoned. – Full of Grace Film

All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. -John 1:3-4, 14 (WEB)
