“Don’t complain about the darkness. Be the light.”
What this young man said is not only wise, it’s scriptural.
Jesus didn’t tell us to curse the darkness. He told us to be the light of the world and the salt of the earth. A candle doesn’t argue with the dark…. It simply shines.
The Bible says, “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” (John 1:5 KJV)
Anyone can point out what’s wrong with the world. The harder thing is to live differently. To love when others hate or to show grace when others rage. To speak truth when others lie and to reflect Christ in a culture that has forgotten Him.
The world doesn’t need more people complaining about the darkness.
It needs more obedient believers carrying the Light.
When Muslims claim the bible has been corrupted, it’s just a cheap way of dodging the Islamic dilemma.
Unlike the Quran, the bible is detailed and trustworthy.
