Renewal
Our experiences flow through cycles of light and darkness, a series of ebbs and flows that make up the movement of life. When our creative energies dry up, we begin to wonder if we can ever produce again. When a friendship reaches ebb tide, we wonder if it can be revitalized. In the midst of darkness, we wonder if there will ever be light.
We forget that our lives go in cycles, and that in our past, patterns of darkness or stagnation yielded to surges of new life. Understanding the vital law of ebb and flow, can we have courage during the times of darkness to believe that they are preludes to light and renewal?
I've sometimes forgotten that darkness gives birth to renewal, Lord, and I've allowed myself to become discouraged. To the extent that it's in my power, I will shorten the dark periods of my life by believing in the possibility of light. May I learn how to foster renewal in my life.
