Light vs Darkness

Been thinking about light & darkness lately, Christians being the light to the world and all.  figured, seeing as it is my birthday, the analogy of candles was appropriate. So when candles appear in a room, the area around it is exposed to light, and the darkness is gone. But when you walk into a room and switch on the light the darkness is completely ERADICATED.

This should almost be called; today vs some day (random thought.)

Today, I am a flame, a small, flickering candles, soon to be snuffed out, (hopefully) illuminating the dark around me.  The source of my light is not from myself, someone (the match) had to ignite the flame. And someone (the candle) has to sustain my flame. In case you hadn't picked up, Jesus ignited my flame, and God sustains it, unlike the candle analogy though, the two are involved in both the ignition and sustaining.

BUT, there's gonna be one day, when all darkness will be eradicated. All the darkness of my own heart, all the darkness of the world will be eradicated. Like think what would happen if you put floodgates into your room, the darkness is just fleeting. Not like butterflies fleet, slowly, carelessly (butterflies are the first things that come into my mind) but like ... ok, the only thing I can think of is darkness & light. But hey, it works. Not just the space around me will be illuminated like in the candle analogy but the whole world.

But, my analogy is not perfect, especially the candle one, because in fact, many candles are consumed by darkness before they are snuffed. Many candles are shrouded in darkness, in their own flaws.

This will probably not make sense to alot of you, it probably won't make sense to me when I read it later on. Anyway, once again Mr. Scatterbrain signing out.
