the light of life

Color is almost dependent on your eye. It is dependent on the light's reflection and the way your eye perceives those reflections.
When the lights go out there is literally no color to what you look at. They are merely colorless objects. They are black. When they are absent of light, they are absent of color.
Light will chase darkness, but darkness cannot chase light. It has to flee. It must flee. It has no choice.
What a beautiful, perfect description of God.
God is light.

Without light plants die. Without light our skin fades, our hearts fade; our vitamins literally deplete. Without light life is colorless. Without light there is darkness. Without light paintings are just lines on a canvass. Without light there is no reflection. Without light there is no reflection.
Without light there is no reflection.
God is light.
1 John 1:15 - "God is light: In Him there is no darkness."

God is not like light. God is light.
