The Message:
"Turn on the Lights" Matt Daniels

• You do not have to get over the spiritual darkness by yourself.
• For God's work to make a difference, YOU must turn on the light.
• When you are in darkness, look at others.
• You don't get the light until you need the light. • • You will receive the light when you decide that you are going to accept it.
• There is power in letting go.
• When you share the light with someone else, it doesnt take any light from you. It expands your light and gives to others.
• Saying you are sorry does not mean that you are wrong. Saying you are sorry shows that you care about your relationship with the person you are apologizing to.
• The good side wins because good people do good things.
