When we move from a well-lighted room into a dark room, the darkness seems especially dark to us. It is difficult to see anything. After a while, our eyes become adjusted to the darkness and we can gingerly move about the room. We also have difficulty moving from a dark room into light until our eyes become adjusted. For us, darkness poses a problem. But for God, He sees just as well in the dark as He does in the light, with the darkness is physical or spiritual.
Psalm 139:11-12 says, “If I say, ‘Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,’ even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as day, for darkness is as light with you.” Sometimes, we may feel like our sins are too great for God to see us. Or we may feel like the sins of those around us are too dark for God to notice us amidst the darkness. But darkness is not dark at all for God, rather it is as light to Him. He sees us and loves us wherever we are and even in our darkest hours.
