Because they’re definitely not see through. But they still let light in. Think about it: even when it’s the stormiest day out, with the darkest clouds and the loudest thunder – it’s still light enough to see outside. It might not be bright, it might not be pleasant, but you can still see. No matter how dark the clouds – light still gets through and lights up the world. It lets us know that it’s daytime and that the sun is still there, even if we can’t actually see it.

I think that our problems are the same way. They might darken our skies, they might make our days less appealing – but no matter how bad our storm is, there’s still enough light in our world to know that the Son is still shining, even if we can’t actually see Him. Our darkest day is never truly dark. It might not be bright, it might not be pleasant, but we can still see enough to know where we’re going.

No matter how dark your clouds, the sun is still shining on the other side of them. Just like it always has. No matter how dark your clouds, the Son is still shining on the other side of them. Just like He always has.

Not every cloud has a silver lining, but every cloud has an edge. The sun is still shining, waiting for its chance to peak around the edge of your clouds.
