"Light overcomes darkness, not the other way around."
Joyce
"In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
John 1:4-5
Sometimes it seems the darkness is so strong. But the light of Christ easily overcomes darkness, the love of Christ easily overcomes hatred, the joy of Christ easily overcomes despair. As God told Catherine Marshall just before He healed her of sickness, "There's nothing here that I can't handle."
A thought: God easily overcomes the darkness.
