Dearest God,

There is nothing like your light that shines through faith!  This morning as I sat in worship I stared at the cross and thought of your light.  I thought of how the light broke through in dark times in my own life and in counselling others and watching them grab hold of the light as hope became possible in their despair.  I reflected upon the cherished qualities of your light, its warmth, its love, its acceptance, its generosity, its healing, its mercy and I acknowledged the gift and blessing your light is.

Every Sunday I see your light.  I feel its radiant glow.  I experience its love and gentle challenge.  I have come to expect to be present with your light as I gather with your people.  Who would want to be anywhere else?  I pray with all my heart I carry your light with me to church as I enter the premises.  I pray I shine for you so others may find their way.

As I joined in the singing I sensed we were dancing in your light as we lifted our voices in praise.

Generous and Kind God,
thank you
for your
amazing gifts.
Thank you
for blessing us
in your home
on Sunday mornings.
Teach us
to be light,
not by
shining our
own light
but by
radiating your light
to the world.
Thank you
for your
spirit heat
I felt
this morning.

Love, Andrea
