Gospel Reflections #876: Seeing the faint light

John 12:35 "Then Jesus said to them, 'The light is with you for only a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness may not overtake you. Whoever walks in the darkness does not know where they are going.'"

God's plan for humanity's salvation is not only being carried out with certainty, but it is also guiding us back to God.

This is because, while we are in this world, we become buried in Satan's deceptions. 

Therefore, God reveals Himself to us and guides us to draw near to Him.

That light is faint and not permanent as seen by our sinful eyes.

Therefore, when we find a faint light shining in the darkness now, walking where that light leads us is given to us as "God's grace."

The more we experience walking in God's light, the more we are filled with the peace and joy found only there.

To enter God's light, if we seek it, God will lead us there.

It is the place where we are with God, where we become one with God.

Whether we see God's light or not depends on what we are trying to see.

We may give up, thinking we cannot find that light, but God absolutely never gives up on us.
