I want to thank Marvelous Friend for this wonderful poem that she has written about shadows and light. I got it from her port:

Shadows and Light  (E) Written about the shadows and light in my life. #2256364 by Marvelous Friend

It causes me to be a bit introspective as I, too have had my shadows, even when trying to walk in the light of Christ. Does it make me a bad person? No, it means I am a fallible human, like every one else. I am not perfect, but it is my desire to strive for His perfection, even with the bumps along the way.

What causes my shadows? It's not altogether simple, as I find my body, and sometimes my mind becoming frail at times. Sometimes I fall into doldrums, and find it hard to get out of my own head. Other times, it is choosing not to do what I know to do. Prayer, reading the word, even just talking to God gets put off, and before I know it, I'm away from Him. I come back, asking for forgiveness, knowing that I have not been as faithful as I should be.

Father, forgive my failings. Lead me in Your way, and help me to do what is right. Create in me a clean heart, Oh Lord, and renew a right spirit within me. (Psalm 51).

Let me praise your name above all others, and to let my light shine fully and not be under a bushel basket.

In Jesus' precious name, and for the blood He shed for me.
