"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
John 1:5
Light is a powerful thing. I am truly convinced that light, even just a little bit of light, cannot be defeated by even the deepest of darkness. As part of that conviction, I was able to write about light and darkness for the organization To Write Love on Her Arms. TWLOHA is an organization dedicated to bringing hope, raising awareness, and helping find treatment for people who struggle with depression, self-injury, addiction, and suicide. You can read more about their organization on their Vision Page, but know that it was an honor for me to work with them on this. Although they are not a Christian organization, per se, this is a Non-Profit movement whose goals are tied so closely to the Gospel it's almost silly. If you're looking to bring hope and to help those who are suffering, you are doing what Christ asked Christians to do, no matter what motivation you use to decide to do so.
Anyways, check out my blog post over there on light shining into darkness, and the way that one person's story helped me see that light always wins: Light into Darkness
