Shine Your Light with Runaverse's 'Keep On'


Runaverse's 'Keep On' is a beautiful song about faith as source of strength and perseverance when dealing with life's ups and downs. Runa (artist name: Runaverse) was walking at night through the countryside, under a starlit sky, searching for the right words to use in this song. That's when it all started to come together, like a whisper from the Holy Spirit, turning the melody and lyrics into her story of faith and perseverance.

Runaverse - Keep OnRuna faced her fears head-on, thinking about everything that was going on in her life, drawing strength from Matthew 5:14–16, which encourages us to be the light of the world. 'Keep On' is the track on her debut EP, as well as a personal declaration to shine, regardless of life's challenges. Runa admits she hadn't planned to talk about her faith through music, fearing it might offend some. But, in the midst of the hardship she was facing, her resolve strengthened, as she poured her heart into the lyrics as the dawn approached.

'Keep on / Even in the dark yeah / Keep on (keep on) / Don’t be afraid tonight my dear,' a reminder that God is always with us and that it is He who strengthens us so we can come out of these challenges victorious. God never promised us an easy life. He never promised that we wouldn't suffer, that we wouldn't feel despair, loneliness, confusion, or desperation. What he did promise was that in our suffering we would never be alone.

He encourages us to face our suffering with hope and let our light shine without fear.

'Keep On' is an invitation to look beyond the dark moments in life, to trust God, and shine your light (His light through you) for others walking similar paths. Give 'Keep On' a listen. May its message encourage you, and maybe, just like Runa, help you to find strength to keep shining your light.

(Related scripture: Matthew 5:14-16; Philippians 4:13; 2 Corinthians 4:8-9)
