“And the light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not.” — John 1:5 (KJV)

There’s something about light that just refuses to lose. You can walk into the darkest room you’ve ever been in, strike the smallest match, and suddenly the darkness has to back up and make room. It doesn’t negotiate. It doesn’t argue. It just moves. Because light always wins.

John tells us that Jesus stepped into a world wrapped in spiritual midnight and the darkness couldn’t comprehend Him. It couldn’t overpower Him. It couldn’t put Him out. And here’s the good news — it still can’t.

Maybe you’re facing a dark place right now. A heavy season. A weary heart. A situation that feels like it’s been sitting under a shadow for far too long. But the same Jesus who walked into the darkness of this world is the same Jesus who walks into the darkness of your life. And when His light shows up, things change.

The darkness you’re fighting doesn’t get the final word. The fear you’ve been carrying doesn’t get to stay. The loneliness that’s been whispering in your ear doesn’t get to win. Because the Light has already come — and He hasn’t dimmed, and He hasn’t weakened, not for one single moment.

So today, lift your head. Let the Light in. Let His presence warm what’s grown cold. Let His truth push back the lies. Let His hope rise in the places that have felt hopeless.

The darkness cannot overcome Him… and because He is with you, the darkness cannot overcome you either.

Keep walking. Keep trusting. The Light is shining — even now.
