It is when we realise our need that Jesus comes to us with his revealing light and we are able to see things that we had missed in our time of darkness.

opportunities and we are able to visua­ lise what we failed to see before. In this way we can be “switched on” to an awareness of new light as we walk in that which is revealed to us. JOE STANSFIELD
