In the Light of Day

Book Cover & Preview Text
We all need help, and I am talking about something much deeper than counseling or therapy. It involves a place no person could ever reach. The depths of the human heart are too unfathomable for humanity to search out in one another. We need a light capable of revealing what is hidden in the sunset. We need to once again look out the window to listen and watch. Like a child, we must not be too overwhelmed with the many distractions, pursuits, and troubles of life that we forget to slow down to see something beyond what consumes our thoughts. This may allow our eyes to take in what is true and real, not only in regards to others, but more importantly, our own hearts. We must be aware there are things in this world that will take great advantage of our soul and heart through lies and empty promises. There have been moments we walked into and trusted those promises but have come out hurt. There have been moments where we have hurt others. It is a part of our existence and the moment we live in.
We must recognize the sunset again and be aware of the portrait it paints. As we acknowledge its beauty, let’s not forget it’s revealing only a glimpse of the worlds true self. We cannot forget that daylight is on its way—another sunrise breaking the dawn, revealing the hearts of humanity. What we may not see of another’s heart has been seen. An ever-present light is upon us. Creation longs to be seen and known, demanding the light of day.

About the Book
We are longing to find something that will truly satisfy our hearts. This longing leads us into many situations and circumstances. In the end, anything we give our hearts to within this world will find its end. There is an eternal light that reveals our need and helps us understand those longings within us. Within this light, we find what will never fade away, always satisfying the human soul. What we desire most is love, but there is only one lasting love for humanity.
When the sun is setting and the dark creeps in, what’s revealed is only a shadow of who we really are. We are not fully known by others within this fleeting light, and many people find themselves living in the sunsets. We hope the oncoming night and passing light will reveal a bit of our beauty but hide what is perceived unacceptable or, in many cases, too real. Our “spots”, our imperfections, have driven our entirety into hiding. It’s a humanity problem. We hide. We’ve always hidden. We’ve found solace in the darkness, but our worth is not lost, and our value has not faded away. We are fully known, even in the darkest of nights. The life we live now is vulnerable to darkness, but there is no need to hide for acceptance. We all have our spots, we all have hurt, but what remains hidden from humanity will not find shelter from the light. When someone is close enough to see the struggle within and provides a way out, it’s our opportunity to take hold of what we need and begin to trust.
