Let The Shadows Fall Behind You

"Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you." Walt Whitman

 Think about when you are walking towards the sun. While you are walking towards it, your shadow and the shadows of everything else fall behind you. But on the other hand, if you are walking away from the sun the shadows will come over you.
 Maybe you are covered by shadows today. Maybe you are in the darkness that these shadows are covering you with and you can't seem to shake it. Maybe you feel stuck and feel like, in the midst of this darkness, you have lost your way. If this is you today, then this post is meant for you. What do we do in a situation such as this one where we are stuck in the darkness and can't seem to find a way out? Well, you turn towards the light. I know what you are thinking, it seems to simple to be true, right? Well, it is really not. Think of the example above, when we are turning away from the sun, the shadows come in front of us and on top of us, and we are stuck in the darkness. But, if we face towards the sun, those shadows, that darkness, all of those problems, they will all fall behind you. So instead of wandering around, trying to figure out where to go next all by yourself, turn around and lift your face towards the sun. Let the light of God shine on you and let all of your problems, all of your worries, all of that darkness fall behind you and God will light the way and show you which path to take.
