Sometimes, Round Two: Day 17 of 365 – When Light Enshrouds Darkness!

When Light Enshrouds Darkness

Sometimes Light Enshrouds Darkness In A Fanciful Facade Of Deception; Therefore We Must Test All Sources Prior To Proclaiming Final Allegiance!

Now that’s a mouthful! Light! Darkness! Deception! Testing! Proclamations! Allegiance! I could probably write an entire article about every one of of those words but I won’t. At least not this time around.

What is the point of this long sentence? Light isn’t always light! Wolves often drape themselves in sheep’s clothing.  People wear masks to conceal true identity.

Just because Light shines doesn’t always mean that it leads us down peaceful and meaningful paths. Sometimes, Light enshrouds Darkness that seeks to snare us through deception.

The point is that we must always and I mean ALWAYS work to discern the source of the Light before following it. We must test all the messages that come our way. We must test people we meet. We must test ideologies when pitched to us. We must test those who would lead us. We must have standards of decency, truthfulness, honesty, respect, service, compassion, love and benevolence by which to measure the Light that comes to us.

Sometimes light is anything but Light! Darkness knows that Light attracts the masses. That’s why Darkness chooses Light as its overcoat.

Before you proclaim final allegiance . . . Test!

Peace!

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 1994 and a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor since 2011. I received my BA in Sociology and Psychology from Hardin-Simmons University and my Master’s in Counseling from the University of North Texas.

I specialize in the field of loss/grief and have written, trained, and presented workshops on loss/grief since 1990. Helping clients learn to work toward reconciliation and integration of life losses is the basis of my work in this area.

My wife and I are both therapists and often work together with couples in our practice. We find that couples respond well to our co-therapist approach.
