From the Old Testament prophet, Isaiah (60:1-3)

God’s light shines in the darkness of our world. It shines despite opposition, unbelief, willful stubbornness, rebellion and disobedience. God’s’ grace and mercy are greater than our ability to mess up, though He does allow our waywardness to have shorter-term, natural consequences. Still, where sin abounds - grace abounds much more.
