Comprehending Joy

Beyond comprehension. John tells us, "The light shines in darkness, and the darkness does not comprehend it." Through the touch of God's truth, we all know of our personal darkness. The hidden faults that drive our chaos. We are an unconscious depravity, so benighted at the core that we appear to be delirious and demented shadows; substantially non-beings. There is of us an ontological void that is unaware of itself, let alone the light. Still, He shines there. Someday this light will obliterate our oblivious false self. Where once sin, a thoroughly blind numbness, pretended to exist, an unbearable and fearful awareness of joy will find it impossible to contemplate anything but infinite love.
