Light
The first words spoken in the Bible were,
“Let there be light.”
From the very beginning, He gifted us light.
He never intended for us to remain in darkness.
Later, He revealed,
“I am the light of the world.”
I long to live within this light—
to let it guide my vision,
to let it warm my spirit,
to let it shine through my heart.
May I walk in His light,
reflect His love,
and become light as He is light.
Father, You spoke light into a world that had known only darkness; speak that same light into the hidden places of my soul. Let it chase away the shadows, and create a clean heart within me. Let light continually be my salvation. I ask that You help me not to dim Your light.
Help me remember that I must look to You if I am to reflect Your light, and to never hide it under a bushel.
Help me to always remember Your light is a gift given to me to share, never to pridefully claim as mine alone. You call light into being, You called me out of darkness and placed the beauty of Your light within me. May I walk humbly before You as a vessel of that light. Reflecting the light of love, grace, and hope that first came from You.
Thankfully your daughter,
Amen
