Lux de caelo | Light from Heaven

"A bright light from heaven suddenly flashed around him" — Acts 9:3 (CEV).

We engage ourselves in many things. Sometimes we make wrong decisions and commit sins though we do not realize it. The circumstances force us to do something. In any situation of our life, the Lord cares for us. God, the Father, loves us and sends his beloved Son Jesus Christ. 

We can meet Jesus during our journey. It would be better if we find time to pray and meet him. But it often happens that we hurry up and cannot spend much time on prayer. Nonetheless, the Holy Spirit touches and enlightens our hearts.

In Saul's case, it was an accident on the road to Damascus. In our case, it can be anything - serious sickness, broken marriage, job loss, etc. When we are lonely and weak, it is the best occasion for the Lord to take an action. As Christians, we usually surrender to Jesus when we experience troubles. We need to know that Jesus comes to our life through good people. We are to acknowledge that we cannot manage everything on our own. We are like children who should be led by the hand. So let's trust in the Lord and in other people whom God sends as his messengers. May the divine light embrace us and set us free from our weaknesses and problems.
