Don’t Be Afraid
of the Dark

Never be afraid of the dark. I know that’s the opposite of what most of us were taught, but hear me: it’s in the dark place that God is there. It might be one of the main places that He is.

A lot of people get it mixed up. They see darkness and immediately associate it with the devil. But God made the darkness — He said so in Genesis. And in Psalm 139, light and darkness are one and the same to Him.

So what do you do when God Himself compares darkness to light as equal? You get over the fear of it. You stop rejecting it. You accept it.

Because darkness is not your enemy. It’s the revealer. It reveals the light. It’s not opposition — it’s partnership.

Darkness is the revealer — it reveals the light.

And when you can embrace the dark like that, things get a lot easier. You stop condemning yourself. You stop hating yourself. You stop delaying yourself. You stop blaming yourself.

You just live in freedom. That’s what the dark does when you stop fighting it — it talks you out of the self-war.

People won’t always understand it, because it’s so different from what we’ve always been taught to do and be. But it’s supernatural, and it’s powerful, and it’s something you don’t want to miss out on.

Stop being afraid of the dark. Stop rejecting the dark. Accept the dark.

The key isn’t running from the dark place. The key is knowing Who is in it with you. God is there — revealing, partnering, freeing. Don’t be afraid of the dark.
