Burning the Light
"The lens I have on my camera is really strong and magnified so I like to use it during sunsets between treelines. I think sunsets are one of the most beautiful things we can see everyday. The type of pain that typically gets my attention is the kind that burns bright (like the sun burns bright) and it feels like it burns behind/through my bones and skin. It reminds me of the light of the Lord that shines through me. As a follower of Christ, the Bible says that we are to take joy in the sufferings we experience because Christ suffered for us. So in a way, this photo reminds me that my pain is a part of creation and that I can endure the pain through the Spirit of the Lord that gives me strength."
