Tonight I was patrolling through the various parking lots as usual when I got to this one lot that up till recently had a lot of the lights burnt out. As I pulled in I thought how strange the lot looked with all the lights on. They had been out most of the summer and I had gotten used to using the high beams and the spotlight to check out the vehicles. Now I didn't have to, I could see the cars under the light of the repaired lights. How weird that I had gotten used to the darkness, when the light was the way it should be.
How often we drive around in dark spiritual parking lots thinking it's normal, when we can pray to God to "fix the lights", and we can begin to see things the way they are supposed to be.
