LIGHT and LOVE

 by Kay Heitsch

Martin Luther King Jr had a lot to say. This morning I read many of his quotes. I chose, "Darkness can not drive out darkness. Only LIGHT can do that. Hate can not drive out hate. Only LOVE can do that."

When someone doesn't agree with us we tend to feel angry. If you notice when we allow anger to control us we feel depressed, unhappy, and there's a darkness that is around us.

It's interesting to experience what happens when instead of allowing hate to control us we act in LOVE. There is a LIGHT that we feel surrounding us. We feel happy and the LIGHT of LOVE drives out hate.

In this day in age we need LIGHT and LOVE! Today's Bible verse, "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21 ESV is great advice to remember.

Let's allow LOVE and LIGHT to drive out the darkness and hate in our world. We can overcome evil with good as we ask the LORD to help us.

Help us LORD to bring your LIGHT and LOVE to our world today and everyday!
