To build in darkness does require faith. But one day the light returns and you discover you have become a fortress; you may even find yourself, sought by others as a beacon in their dark. ~Olga Rosmanith
God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. (2 Corinthians 1:3-4, NLT)
Being broken hurts but be encouraged that your pain does have a purpose! You may find yourself shining one day very soon.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. (1 Peter 5:10 NIV)
Run and Be Still 
I don’t get what glow sticks have to do with this. I guess I don’t know about glow sticks. I mean, I’ve seen pictures of them glowing in the dark, but how does this all fit together?

Love the analogy! An important thing to remember when you’ve got those moments in the darkness. I actually have a glow stick on my dresser (I have no idea why) but your posting makes it a reminder! Thank you! Have a great day!
