About a life filled with light:

John 1:7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. 9 The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. (NIV)

All of us carry darkness in our life. We carry the darkness of sadness, pain, loneliness, sinfulness, and memories we want to forget. However, all of us can be filled with the light of Christ. All of us can come to the foot of His cross and find in His most tragic moment an eternal light for our souls. The light of Christ is not like the burning light of the sun. The light of Christ is not like the blinding light of a bright light made my humankind. The light of Christ is a light of love taking away all of our darkness. In the emptiness of our life there is a bright light filling up the emptiness. Christ's light of love and life fills up our emptiness. When we accept Christ into our heart and life, our heart, mind, and soul are filled to overflowing with His light and love. Although we can understand what being filled to overflowing means in physical terms, with Christ we are being filled to overflowing in supernatural terms. In Christ, there is no darkness. When we take Him into our life, our life is filled with Him and our darkness disappears.
