Cold is the absence of heat,
Darkness the absence of light.
Both feel overpowering until a fire is lit.
Who’s to say goodness can’t overpower evil?
A candle can be seen miles away, yet we can’t tell how far.
A bonfire far away looks the same as a candle that’s near.
We could wait eons for the Son of God to appear
while false messiahs arrive in plenty before him.
Fill the darkness with light.
Fill the cold with warmth.
Fill the wicked places with faith, hope and love.
Wait for the coming of the luminous Lord.
— E. D. Nelson
