Longing for the promises of God in sum
All together we are here, in this time
Why would we harm others as if it were fine?
When we're called to love, we tend to flee
Our selfish nature lacks compassion, we can see
But at this moment, we can change our mind
And be a light for God that others will find
For many many years my favourite verses have been Matthew 5.14-16. "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
These verses have always said to me that I am supposed to be a light in this dark world, in my actions, deeds, and words so that others will see and give glory to God. In just a few sentences I am reminded to be a light, which means do not give into the darkness in this world, and take no credit or glory for myself. Everything is for the glory of God. All goodness and light is His. None of it is possible apart from Him.
