My Jesus, my Savior, my Lord and my Friend,
The image of your ever-present light has been running through me this past week. My mind is full of verses declaring your light’s purpose in our lives. And verses of your promise to shine your light on us and around us and before us circle my heart.
These verses are causing my heart to skip a beat.
Jesus, I have been in your light since I was three years old; I was raised in the presence of your light. Not for any other reason than my ‘little girl’ acceptance of God as my Father. Oh, my heart smiles at this gift of your “Father to the fatherless” love!!
Even in the midst of darkness, your light was always there. For the evidence of your presence is what remains in my memory leaving those dark days as my story to tell rather than my weight to carry.
Your light silences my negative emotions when I have to revisit my darkest days while speaking, teaching, writing, or sweetly talking with those who need to hear the truth that they are not alone.
Oh Father God, there is so much weight to carry! I think of my prayer sisters scattered around your beautiful world. I think of the prayer requests on their hearts. I think of the secret cries within their souls. I think of the mental battles that persist day in and day out. I think of the loss that they are walking through. I think of the emptiness that overtakes the days of yesteryear. I think, Father, of the present reality of today that causes such angst in their being.
Oh Father, that you will silence every emotion of dark days. That you will transform her weight into a story to tell. That you will whisper her name upon her heart. That you will make the evidence of your presence known. That you, Dear Father in Heaven, will shine the light of your son, Jesus Christ, on her right now. Oh, that she will see it!
Yes, Father, I pray the emotions of darkness will be silenced in the presence of your most joyous Light!
Amen
Jesus, I adore you.
I worship you.
I love you.
