We all have a picture of our lives, an image that tells the story we have lived. Darkness is woven into this picture, and we see this images in different colours and depths. We might add deep colours and shades of black lines, picturing them in dark shades. I have become lonely, very rude, life is lost, unable to enter into society, I am not comfortable with others, … many are the lines we have drawn to the picture.
Even in this darkness, does God see this picture? Does he
know the fabric of these colours? Evening came and then morning came, and God
found it was good. That was God’s pattern of history. All our stories, our
pictures are joined to God’s history. See the grace descending deep into the
fabric of the painting, to the roots of our life. Feel the consoling and
comforting grace touching our bitter pains and tears. There will be a mercy
sprouting and flowing from our own hearts into our pains. Darkness offers an
embracing mystery over our black shades, and grace dissolves them into peace,
turning our life into an anointing grace.
