When there is darkness
leave plenty of room for God
to fill you with light.
Where there is shadow
leave plenty of room for faith -
Don't beat yourself up.
Trust to God,
He is able!

Scrupulosity sees darkness when there is only shadow and shadow where there is none.
It is form of vice; a deficiency in faith. It leaves little room for a healthy sense of trust in God to flourish. It arouses needless fears and anxieties and is rooted in a secret sense of false pride.
You don't imagine sin. You don't imagine love. Because both exists and is therefore knowable.
So know, else trust in God. He is worthy of all your love and trust. Do your best to be good is all you can do, you can never go past the you being you.
So leave some room for the sunshine, dear starshine.
Let it be, let it shine!
