Truth and Darkness 

   “But in a conflict between truth and darkness, truth cannot lose.” (Fulton J. Sheen) 

   In a world becoming more and more dark where is truth?  It is where it has always been; truth is in God.  We can overcome any darkness when we place our trust in Him.

   It’s so easy to think that things are so much worse today than ever before, but a look at history will very quickly dispel that idea.  There have been times that were so much worse than today, times of war, hatred, and disease that far surpass our woes of today.

   Corrupt ideas and governments have brought great tragedy and horror to the world through wars, famines, and many other atrocities, but they were eventually overcome.  The evil in the world brings hatred and abomination to our lives today.  But, nothing is forever but the truth of God and that truth will eventually overcome all darkness.

   The only way that darkness can overcome truth is within ourselves; when we give up on the truth of God and succumb to the darkness we have lost all hope.  The road back from that place is arduous at best and nearly impossible for many.

   Jesus said, “I am the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” (John 8: 12).  No matter how dark it may seem the light of Christ, the truth of Christ, will always overcome.
