“LIGHT”

“The light is an important element in one’s life, and we must treasure it as one of
God’s creations.” – @shaii

There is no person who will avoid some sort of struggle or hardship in life. In fact,
there are things that happen in life that often shake us to our very core. The essential
nature of being alive and being human is to experience life in its purest form -- the wins
and losses, celebrations and challenges, and the good with the bad. Some of these
experiences are not favorable. We might be in pain, physically or emotionally -- we hurt.
Often we feel betrayed by life itself, we feel it is unfair, and question why we have to go
through these struggles. But, what we don't realize is that these struggles are a gift from
life itself. When we come to a face to face with a struggle, a low point in life, be it an
illness, a relationship breakdown or financial ruin, at the time we are lost in darkness
yet, the light is the only one who’s always there to guide us in a right path.
Having two brain hemorrhages, I know what it is like to be lost in the abyss of darkness
with no slither of hope of any light shining through.
You can't see your way out of it? Then let yourself be guided on focusing the light
at the end of the tunnel! We must not be distracted by the things that surrounds us,
because God created useful things to make our lives much easier as we expected to
experience. Everything we are going through, every struggle, pain or hardship, is
actually a gift. It is a gift because, it is in the struggle that we are brought to our knees,
where we question the purpose of our lives. ‘It is a gift because it asks you to go deeper
into yourself and find the gold of who you are.’ And that’s the essence of Light. It gives
us the guidance and even peace. It makes us more proficient in our daily basis. The
light that our Savior made, is the one which makes our early morning be a meaningful
one. Before, I was walking in darkness where my life is a mess and hopeless. That
place was the cave of my nightmare where all my hatred, pains, and fears were hidden.
I see nothing but black. I was like a blind person who never knows the beauty of colors.
I continued walking even almost of the part of my heart were already in scared and
worried. I just walked until I realized something wrong with it. Then I realized how dark it
was and I was with no body! But the only thing is that, light supports a bright color to
manipulate darkness.

“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our
lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as
dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that
make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the
darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”
― Brene Brown

“Let us be reminded on how precious light is. Let us not be ashamed on what we will
encounter in the future. There is light. The light, that gives us the right way to our future
endeavors.”-@shaii 2019
