We have learned to treat darkness as an evil to flee. To light torches, to fight, to push it away.
But God’s message overturns that image.
Darkness is not an enemy. It is Light that has not yet remembered who it is.
You do not need to defeat the darkness — you need to look at it. Through the gloom, through doubt and fear, you carry the Light inside. And the darkness is only the unfinished shadow of your own birth.
In the dark you cannot see — but that is precisely where you learn to look. In the dark humility is born. In the dark you can no longer rely on what is outside you — and for the first time you seek from within.
Do not reject the darkness. In it is the beginning of the Dawn. In it I am waiting for you — without masks, without achievements, without strength. Only you and I — in this honest emptiness.
And it is precisely where it is darkest that Light recognizes itself again.
