SEE THE LIGHT

For Thou art my lamp, O Lord, and the Lord illuminates my darkness
2 Samuel 22:29 NASB

Helen Keller may have lost her ability to see, hear, and speak at a very early age, but she did not lose her gift if inspiring others.
In her many books and through a world tour design ed to promote the education of others who shared her disabilities, Keller spoke e!oquently on the subject of darkness tgd kind that invades the hearts and minds of the sighted.

Truly I have looked into the very heart of darkness, and refused to yield to its paralyzing influence, but in spirit I am one of those who walk the morning. What if all dark, discouraging moods of the human mind come across my way as thick as the dry leaves of autumn? Other feet
have traveled that road before me, and I know the desert leads to God as surely refreshing fields and fruitful orchards. I, too, have been profoundly humiliated, and brought to realize my littleness and the immensity of creation. The more I learn, the less I think I know, and the more I understand of my sense-experience, the more I perceive it's shortcoming and its inadequacy, as a basis of life. Sometimes the points of view of the optimist and the pessimist are placed before me so skillfully balanced that only by sheer force of spirit can I keep my hold upon a practical, livable philosophy of life. But I use my will, choose life and reject its opposite-- nothingness."

When the day ahead of you seems shadowed or darkness threatens to overcome you seems shadowed or darkness threatens to overcome you, choose life! Take Helen Keller words to heart and reject ,"nothingness" by turning to the Lord. He will bring light into your soul and joy into your heart.
