Light Our Way


But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day.
- Proverbs 4.8

The morning light is always joyful, to me. It feels fresh and untainted. It does not carry the weight of the day's tasks, yet. The shadows are soft. The air is serene. The reminder of the day rises in the sky and brings hope of goodness to come. It is not a time to be overcome with darkness, but rather rising to the challenge of being bright lights in the world.

Seek and ye shall find.

When we seek the dullness, the darkness, the dreaded depths of the deep we find ourselves dwelling there.
When we seek the light, the love, the liveliness, the litany of prayers and thanks we find ourselves lifted up.

Listen to the words speaking in your heart. Are they dark and depressing, or light and lively? The sounds of a cacophony will leave you unsettled. While a harmonious arrangement places pieces together that could not be fitted before, but somehow now the seemingly unrelated sounds are sweeter than you could imagine.

Light our way
Twixt night and day
Shape my heart 
So I know my part

And when the day wanes and darkness creeps into the scene that was at once filled with graceful notes, remember this:

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
- John 1.5
