If you have experienced living in a dark place for quite some time, chances are, a little flicker of light will dazzle your eyesight. But if you are the kind who longed to get out of that darkness, you will be enchanted by the brightness and probably walked towards it.

In our lives, we sometimes find ourselves in a dark path – whether it’s of our own doing or because of a conspiracy of events. We might have done a lot to get out of that situation before seeking help. By that time, we probably have exhausted ourselves and if we’ve been through a lot of unsuccessful attempts that we resigned to the idea that we will never escape that rut anymore no matter what we do.

In those moments, a miracle is most welcome. For us to encounter a divine favor, we need to believe first that we are a finite being. We need to acknowledge that we need a savior to save us, to pull us out of that pit. Breaking through is only possible if we’ve been through the breaking – because only then we will be able to admit to ourselves that without GOD, we are nothing.
