My Experience …
I lived my life in the kind of dark that Isaiah is speaking about. While I have learned of Christ since the time I was young, I didn’t trust that He could really help me. I had given up on myself and lost hope that the Savior loved me as well. It’s humbling to have an experience where I had to totally rely on the Savior’s love to get me through.

Over the past year, I have been learning a great deal of learning to rely on the Savior completely. Not just when I thought I needed to, but all the time. I have seen a great change over the past year. I met with my Bishop not too long ago to discuss some of the changes that have happened and he shared a though with me about light. When you open the door on a dark night, the dark does not creep inside. It is the light that shines forth into the darkness and lights the way. It is the same with Christ’s love. When we rely on and trust in the Savior, the dark will not creep in, but His light will shine forth. I’m really grateful that my Bishop shared that thought. It made me think about how I was a year ago and what I am today.

I still have my times where I feel like someone has turned out the lights. The good thing is that now, I have the key to turning them back on. When I trust in my Savior, the light is constant. The more I trust in Him, the more I love Him. The more I love Him, the more I feel loved and blessed by Him. It is a wonderful cycle to be in.

I hope that I can find someone to share my light with. I have been so blessed lately and I need to remember to share that with others. I hope that I can do that in a way that is pleasing to my Father in Heaven and to the Savior. I want to share His light because I have seen how truly beautiful it is.
