And God said, "Let there be light" and there was light

* Luiz Alberto Alves
Currently many seek light where there is only darkness. Because of loneliness, it's great to search for clarity in places marked by darkness. It is the false sense of peace in a line of cocaine, an alcoholic beverage cup or even in paid sex when hooker false whispers words of love and writhes to simulate true when only a pretense.

Today the frantic rush for the achievement of status, or in any area of life, plunges people into a pit full of vanity. The appearance is valid regardless of how the heart is. The fake smile, hug bias and even poor praise indeed.

In intellectual circles God is treated as a stranger. Something disposable without any respect. Christians in this medium are seen as faces or without any trace of intelligence. The good is to accept the dirty rules the world, even the most horrible. Cool is to fill the body of drugs and pass the fine folks image. 

There are few who wish to light, which is the love of Jesus Christ as described in Genesis, chapter 1, verse 3: And God said, "Let there be light" and there was light. How many really and truly wish the Lord's light illuminating your life and all your projects? Few. Most prefer the darkness in search for stunted moments of pleasure that goes fast like dew to receive the first rays of the sun.
