It's Getting Very Dark in Here.

It's often easy to see the shadow lingering around others than it is the shadow that hovers over me.

Many are taught to ignore, deny, repress, or hate the shadow that hovers around them.

Where there is light, there is a shadow near by.

I cannot grow whole until I recognize and embrace my shadows. Yes, I said embrace.
If that is troubling, well, you just discovered one of your shadows. Go ahead and love it.
Yes, I said "love it"... it's YOU! (see, another shadow... wow, we sure seem to possess many shadows)

Whatever I hate about you, there's a good chance I recognize a shadow in myself.

Logs and specks.

Your speck, is my log. 

It's getting very dark in here.

Isn't this fun? Fun to help each other discover our shadows? 

And all this time I thought it was you, when it was really me.

I have so many shadows...
I am riddled with deep sorrows and plaguing doubts; and ironically it is Jesus who sits with me through it all. The very one whom I often blame and deny, is the only one who dares to challenge the darkness within.....
