Lord you are the one true light. You give of Yourself that we may not always be in darkness. This is a dark world and although are hearts belong to you, our bodies dwell on this earth. We venture into this world for we seek Your Kingdom. That others would come to know Your glory as it has been revealed to us. So many who live in darkness just as we once did. So many lay in waiting for that one person that You have in mind to put them on the right path. In the darkness the path remains hidden. We must reflect Your light for them to find their way out of the darkness of this world and into the everlasting light. And we know this. Yet still we put the light under a bowl. We show the world that we can stow You away when it is awkward or inconvenient. We all teach a lot more effectively than we give ourselves credit. Every time we give in to the values of this world we teach others how little You mean to us. Every time we think more of ourselves than those that do not know You, we teach the world that we worship a god that is small. A god that only cares for some of the sheep. You are not small. You tend the entire flock. Your will is that all will come to know you in this life.
for the glory of His name
