In this World You Will have Trouble, but Take Heart....

I TURN YOUR DARKNESS INTO LIGHT.

AFTER ALL, I am the Light of the world, and I am both with you and within you.

Every day, you encounter darkness in the world—and in your heart—but remember that I have overcome the world.

You can choose to focus on hurtful, wrong things or to focus on Me—the brilliant Overcomer!

I am calling you to walk with Me along the way of Peace.

I know that many things tug at your consciousness and you have very real responsibilities in your life.

However, I am training you to turn your thoughts to Me more and more—enjoying My Presence in tough times as well as good times.

You will not be able to do this perfectly, but you can make progress bit by bit.

As you direct your attention to Me, I push back the darkness with My invincible Light!

This is how you walk in the way of Peace.

This is how I turn your darkness into Light.
