It's a light, a beautiful light, over the horizon, into your eyes...
Son, sometimes it may seem dark, but the absence of the light is a necessary part.
You feel just like the sun, and if you say I'll be alright, I'm gonna trust you, babe. Gonna look in your eyes, and if you say I'll be alright, I'll follow you into the light.
Even the darkest night will end, and the sun will rise.
The sun will come
To light the way,
To change the darkened skies
To brightest day.
Thou hast giv'n thy part;
What is left undone
Is in His hands, have faith,
God will send the/his sun/son.
2 Nephi 11-12 For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility.Wherefore, it must needs have been created for a thing of naught; wherefore there would have been no purpose in the end of its creation. Wherefore, this thing must needs destroy the wisdom of God and his eternal purposes, and also the power, and the mercy, and the justice of God.
“God did not create evil. Just as darkness is the absence of light, evil is the absence of God.” -Albert Einstein.
Darkness. Light.
We hate the darkness.
But contrast is beautiful.
Without bright lights and heavy darks...
The world is grim and gray indeed.

This is a beautiful compilation of related thoughts and media. You got me thinking and this scripture came to mind:
ReplyDeleteGenesis "1:3Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. 4God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. 5God called the light day, and the darkness He called night." The Pearl of Great Price adds a bit more before this: Moses 2:2 "And the earth was without form, and void; and I caused darkness to come up upon the face of the deep; and my Spirit moved upon the face of the water; for I am God." And then it's very similar to the Genesis account in the instance of light and darkness.
I don't know if God created light or just commanded it to "be" or "become" where he wanted it; perhaps previously existing elsewhere??? It seems that He did not create darkness and that it already existed. He directed where the darkness was just as where the light went. And then God separated or divided the light and the darkness and in the absence of light the darkness remained. Opposites.
