Shine

 

Up earlier this morning, we noticed the powerful lights of an approaching tractor, its headlights cutting a path through the deep darkness pre-dawn. (That sounds more impressive than it is: dawn comes late in Scotland at this time of year!)

The tractor pulled a trailer of cow dung, intended for fertilising, feeding one of his fields.

The farmer didn’t let the deep darkness deter him from his work.

O come, o come Emmanuel. Don’t let the deep darkness of this world deter any of us from venturing forth to spread the good news, to prepare the way for others to come to Jesus, to enrich the lives of those we meet today.

The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not and can never overcome it. Hallelujah.
