There is just something wonderful about the way the
warm light shines out of cold and dark places. The
contrast of the two is a stark reminder that the
Light in the world overpowers the darkness. Yes, I
know there are forces at work (disguised as light)
which are actually trying to make the world a
kingdom of darkness, and it sometimes appears they
are winning; but in the world which one can see with
eyes of faith, the Light shines through. I'm calling
this painting "His Light Shines" because it is an
allegorical depiction of the Creator's ability to
bring victory out of what looks like defeat, Light
out of darkness, and joy out of sorrow. Don't give
up!
