Lights Shine Brighter and Brightest

When is the time when a light shines brighter and brightest? In times and places of Darkness. As I pray for my girls, my beautiful disciples, they are lights Lord. Why?

New Living Translation Daniel 12:3 "Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever."
