This Little Light of His

 

...but came to bear witness

        about the light.

            John 1. 8

(What in the world

      am I doing here?

No wrong turn after all.

But our daily commission

    is to bear witness to God

in whatever we do,

whatever we say,

among whomever,

wherever we are,

how we respond,

and any which way we can

      to point others to God.

What does that look like

          right here,

          right now?)

O LORD,

Help us to approach this day,

    this difficult assignment,

    this awkward situation,

    this messy relationship,

with Your supernatural strength          

   to bear witness to You

        and to bring You glory

in unexpected places

   and creative ways.

May Your light in us

  draw others to You.

It is not in us,

   but Your love

   and grace shining forth.
