Shadows on my soul
September & October 2010
|
You can’t walk through a normal day without coming upon a few shadows. You’ll find them outdoors as well as indoors. Shadows are cast when a light source is obstructed by a common ordinary object. Many of us remember as a young child seeing an intruder that turned out to be only a shadow cast upon the wall.
When the light of God is obstructed a shadow is cast upon our spiritual lives. These shadows leave a deep impression on our the soul. Some people talk about these times as living in the dark nights or living under a fog. Just as there are “big shadows” called eclipses, so there are also smaller shadows. In this series of messages we will look at some of the common shadows that we experience in life.
