Gospel Glitter: Learning to Shine in the Darkness

Book excerpt: A story of the light of truth, hope, and faith discovered even in the midst of dark and hopeless circumstances. The heavy darkness of sadness, loneliness, infertility, suffering, and even grief cannot compare with the light of truth found only in Jesus Christ. Gospel Glitter represents the light of the Gospel and how such tiny appearing sparkles have the potential of shining brighter together and providing hope to the hopeless and strength to the weak. Emotional turmoil related to hardships of life, trauma, or suffering may leave you feeling hopeless, but allowing God's Word to be illuminated leaves His Word having the final say. In a world of darkness, let the Gospel of Jesus Christ be the shining evidence of His restoration and redemption power. Knowing the Word of God can shed light on the darkest nights of our lives. Also, it allows us to know the heart of our Creator, a loving God, whose plans are greater than anything we could ever plan on our own. My prayer is that the light of the Gospel will reveal a strategy to you and combat the emotional consequences of hardship in life.
