Even so, one step from my grave, I believe that cruelty, spite, The powers of darkness will in time, Be crushed by the spirit of light.

It is critical that writers who embrace the light of Christ's redemptive love characterize the darkness arrayed against us in a way that is consistent with its true nature.
However dark and profitless, however painful and weary, existence may have become, life is not done, and our Christian character is not won, so long as God has anything left for us to suffer, or anything left for us to do.
'Faith and Will' sprang from my personal experience with passing through a dark spiritual time.
I'm intrigued by the dark. Out of darkness comes creation.
Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you.
When the unwelcome little unborn shall have seen the light my brain will be lightened, and I shall have a clearer mind. Thank God that even this weary nine months shall come to an end and leave me in possession of my own body and my own soul.
Darkness is the only path to light. It is not our wonderful gifts that make us closer to God: it's using our garbage to transform ourselves. This is the key that unlocks the door that opens to God.
When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness.
Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.
