He is Our Headlamp

"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."

Every essence of our being came from Christ; our form, our loves, our prayers. We needed Him to form us for His purpose, but we also need Him to see. God does not simply create us and leave us. We need Him to stay and guide us through life's dark caverns, some filled with jewels, some filled with pits. He is our headlamp that best conforms to our heads, because He knows every curve and hair upon us. Christianity is the light of Christ, and we need it to see and live the rest of our lives if we do not want to live in darkness.
This quote is special to me. Sometimes, I don't know where I'm going. I think I have it all figured out. But my problem is that sometimes I try to use my own headlamp in the caverns, and I find the batteries soon wear out and I am left just as before in the darkness and even more lost. God can provide the light we need to see our paths just ahead. 
A headlamp will shine into the dark just before you, but not fill up the cavern. We need only to see what is just in front of us; not behind, and not too far ahead. Do not be concerned about the past or future, but rather what is right in front of us. We all know that the sun will rise in the morning until the day of Christ, and God being our sun will rise with us every morning too. Let both light your physical and spiritual way, for without the Sun, we can see nothing.
