Trouble is, I can't find the light.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78070110


Just like the Sun in the morning lights the dark of the night. It comes gradually, not in an instant. You must have early morning, before late morning, before early afternoon. The light gradually increases.

If you need a good place to start, follow the 10 commandments. Love each other, when somebody does or says something that offends or hurts you, try to figure out why they said it. Stay quiet when somebody insults you, listen rather than speak.

Do a good self inspection of yourself. See what makes you, well you. Figure out why you are the way you are. Truth is spiritually manifested before physically manifested. If you are looking for physical wealth, and fame, then God won't help you. You need to seek spiritual wealth and wisdom.

Look back on your life, and think about all the times you majorly wronged somebody or did something with not the best intentions of your heart. Feel genuinely sorry for them, not out of obedience, but with a sincere attitude of seeking forgiveness and understanding. The longer and the more you do this sort of thing, the more your eyes will open.

Open up the Bible and start at Genesis. Read it cover to cover. Don't try to interpret it judge it, or analyze it. Just read it like you would a story. Be an Ox, plow that field (the scriptures) for your master (god/jesus).
The Ox doesn't know what the master is doing, he his just doing his job. So just read it, cover to cover.

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends.--JOHN 15:15.

Become a servant, and after a while, he will call you his friend. Serve him by reading it like a story, innocent like. Just read it with the right attitude.

There is no "get rich quick scheme". It is not easy, but for those who are sincere, it is there.

The Workers Are Few
35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness
. (diseased from looking but not finding [bitterness], sick because of holding onto false doctrine[pride]) 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field. 32Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches."

just like any seed, it must be nourished, and taken care of to grow. Find the seeds in the bible, let him plant those seeds in you as you read. Then the light will begin to rise.
