Shine His Light


There is just something about the light. . .

how it changes everything it touches.

The sun finally bursting through gloomy cloud-cover on a dark and dreary day, sparking hope in a weary heart. . .

The breaking of dawn, when the edge of the horizon cracks just a bit open and the beautiful watercolors of morning begin their ascent up the paper sky. . .

Sunlight that catches on soft waves, suddenly setting the whole surface glittering like a thousand faceted gems. . .

The flame of a single candle piercing through the thickest darkness. . .

And there are countless other moments when the light can simply take our breath away.

Light makes our world more beautiful. 

And when the Light of the World 

is shining on us, 

and in us, 

and through us? 

Oh - the beauty we carry with us!

Along with the power to change our world.

When Jesus spoke again to the people, 
he said, “I am the light of the world. 
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, 
but will have the light of life.” 
 - John 8:12
