Held in the Dark, Led by His Light
As the Day Ends There is a quiet truth that often reveals itself only when the day has been long and the night begins to settle in: God’s grip on us does not loosen in the darkness—it tightens. “Never will He hold your hand more tightly than when He is leading you through the dark.”Continue reading “Held in the Dark, Led by His Light”
