2 Nephi 7:10-11 -- On the True Light

"Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness and hath no light?
Behold all ye that kindle fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks, walk in the light of ayour fire and in the sparks which ye have kindled. bThis shall ye have of mine hand—ye shall lie down in sorrow."
2 Nephi 7:10-11


Talking about light in these two verses seems to indicate that we have to trust in the true light from God, and that if we try to substitute the light from another source instead that we won't really be able to see. I think it is the same as when we feel a void in our lives and we try to fill it with anything that we can find to fill that emptiness, not comprehending that the hole is vast and God-shaped, and nothing else can fill it.

Today, let's look to God for the true light and the completeness that we are looking for, and accept no substitutes, because they will only end in sorrow.
