At first, I could not relate to what I was reading, I almost put down the book and proceeded to the next one. I thought this book was just about a boy-girl romantic relationship and I was getting sick of that topic. But it would be a waste if I let this book pass, so I decided to give it a second chance. I stopped reading this book and let some times passed by. Giving it the rest both of us needed. 

Love and Light by Zara Louise is a book full of hope, forgiveness, and of course love and light. Every page took me back to the time I was nothing when I thought I was so full of something, where in fact I was just a fool pretending I got it all together, but deep inside I was broken. I was glad I gave the book a second chance and a time to redeem itself to me. 

This book also reminds me that everyone still has a chance in life, that it is never too late to start over again, especially if it is with God this time around. Nothing is more wonderful than living a life surrendered to God, to Your Creator, the Designer of this vast universe. It is not easy to surrender, the process is hard and difficult, but you and I are never alone in that journey. He is with you every step of the way to thrive in life with courage knowing that you are good enough. That you don't have to please people or meet their expectations so you can feel and find happiness or satisfaction in doing so. And that life is not all about people pleasing and giving away your own happiness while others take advantage of you. You can serve others and be kind to yourself all at the same time. Don't beat yourself up just to do the hustle-bustle in this busy world of temporal things. Be brave and take courage in God's love, kindness, and provisions for you. You are well equipped of the blessings, gifts, and grace God has bestowed upon you to live a life of purpose, meaning, and happiness. You are not lacking in any way. He created you just for the right purpose. So continue to thrive and grow where you are planted and let the only true light shine upon you.
