Dear God,

When I bask in your light so very aware of your presence, all sin, smudges, every thought not of you washes away.  I feel the full joy of your divine closeness.  I not only see and know the light, I become the light.

As I experience your light, you call me to be the light not only when I spend time alone with you but in every situation of life.  I am to carry the light to others; otherwise, I hide my light under the proverbial basket.  This morning I did just that.  I took the basket and snuffed out the light when I lost my patience, when I let my temper flare for a variety of different reasons.  Only now as I write am I aware of my action.

O God of Light,
you challenge us
every day
to see
the light,
receive the light
and be
the light.
You know
the blessing
of your light
particularly as
it shines
upon us.
Forgive us
when we
snuff out
your light
because of
our own
selfish ways.
Be our light always,
dear Father,
and let us
be your light always too.

Love, Andrea
