Are there some dark places in your marriage
which you and your spouse can't tunnel
through, and it seems to
be no light at the end? It could be
anything that you
simply can't see eye to
eye, or an issue that keeps casting shadows on your
relationship. Don't be
dismayed, because in the midst of the darkest moment,the
radiance of pure light
shines forth.
This became quite
apparent on a late rendezvous Date Night with my husband. We drove
across the new San
Francisco Bay Bridge, which is spectacular.
But we also noticed
that the western span of
the bridge near the city's skyline was brightly lit. After
dinner, I felt led to go
back and drive along the waterfront on Embarcadero.
As we approached the
bridge we noticed each tier was outlined with thousands upon
thousands of miniature
lights. Mind you, it was not Christmas time, in fact it was
mid March. We kept
watching and I noticed vertical lights were streaming up and
down. I brought it to my husband's attention and he
dispelled it saying,
“Maybe it just 'seems'
or looks like that”. We drove a little further and
he finally confirmed
that I wasn't “seeing things”. The lights were
actually moving. We
drove into full view of the bridge and we saw stunning light
sculptures! One of seals floating through the panels of the
bridge another of
fireworks.
Revelation came forth-
we realized if the lights had been on during the day we
would not have been able
to see 25,000 lights!
Remember light shines
more radiantly in darkness. So let THE LIGHT- God Himself-
shine in the midst of
the dark places of your marriage. If you allow Him to be The
Master Designer He will shed the right degree of light and
illuminate your heart
and mind. Don't allow
the darkness to blind or prevent you from seeing the creative
beauty of your love.
You can design your
marriage to be amazing even in the midst of darkness. Simply
take the thousand
fragments of light and create a masterpiece.
What can
“appear” to be doom can
be turned into a beautiful sculpture.
Let the light of love,
joy and peace shine forth and dispel the darkness of your
heart, mind and
eyes...see THE ILLUMINATION.
Note: The Bay Lights
were designed by artist Leo Villareal. Whenever you're in San
Francisco make plans to
see this amazing exhibit of the Bay Bridge (near Alcatraz)
“Light has a very
universal quality...” said Villareal
