​Light versus Darkness - Good versus Evil

​Light versus Darkness 
Good versus Evil
These last few months I've really been thinking a lot about light and darkness, good and evil. A few months ago when I first started thinking about it and had already been thinking about it for a few months I was thinking about writing something on it but I don't remember if I ended up publishing any of my thoughts or a blog post on  it. Stories of light versus darkness and good versus evil can be found in books and movies. In March and April I started watching a lot of movies. In April I got a 7 day free trial of disney plus and so I ended up watching about 30 movies that week. Now when you are watching movies, as well as when you are reading books, you can watch for just entertainment reasons or you can watch to learn. I try to watch with an open mind ready to learn. Also besides watching movies I read a few really good books on the topic too. "Dust" and "The girl who could see" are both really good and both by the same author. Here are some conclusions I came to about light, darkness, good, and evil over the last few months: (in no particular order)

Evil will never really last. For those of you who don't exactly believe in a good God here is some food for thought. A truly evil person is really greedy. A greedy person always wants more and more. They can never get enough. They are like vacuum, empty. My opinion: truly evil beings will self-destruct. At one point they might be beautiful, but in the end I think they will be black holes.
 If God was evil he would eventually self destruct. Also the world as we know it, all the beauty, wouldn't exist. No part of God is evil, He is all good.
What makes someone evil?
God created the very first people good. Then they sinned because they were lied to. I think also the reason people hurt today is because they have been hurt. Hurt people hurt people.


Light is more powerful than the dark. I was at a prayer meeting earlier this year(before covid-19). And at this prayer meeting we looked at  a candle and we were supposed to make observations about light. And I have been thinking about light vs. darkness ever since.
Light is more powerful than the dark. Sure there may be more darkness than light(more evil than good). And even close to the light darkness can hide, between cracks and behind walls. But that is the key word here. Darkness cannot stand in front of light. It must hide, it must flee when the light comes. Light needs energy to be powerful. Darkness can never be powerful.
  Light has a source. The farther you are from that source the less light you see. The more darkness surrounds you. When you are from the light it can be easy to believe false things about the light.

I hope you enjoyed reading my thoughts.
If you have been broken?
If you have been hurt?
If you have been lied to?
I encourage you to come to the light.
