We are the light

I was looking out the plane window praying for Shawn as he was having a gentle, but godly conversation with a man on the plane. It was 11:45pm and we were all very tired from our quick trip to D.C. and back. I had the window seat and Shawn had the aisle with Zack sprawled out across us both.



The sky was clear with the moon bright and full. As I stared at the ground, I saw city lights and my mind started thinking, "Is this what God sees when He looks at the world? Mostly dark with a few patches of light?" 


And then I saw the most beautiful thing that night. The moon was reflecting in a lake below. It lit the whole lake up with a pearly sparkle, moving across the lake as the plane moved, the reflection followed up a river. Then it was gone. My eyes were hooked, keeping my eyes in the same place waiting for another body of water to bring another reflection. The light kept returning with every pond, creek, river, and lake.
It was amazing! The Light was where ever it was being reflected. And that's a lot of places in Oregon :)
Jesus said, "I Am the Light of the world..."


Cleansing Light
I am the True Light that cometh

Truly not all men desire My Light. Not all men would welcome its clear shining.

Many shrink from its revelation, preferring the darkness that would hide their deeds, rather than the remorseless Light that would show the evil of which they are ashamed.

Pray for Light, rejoice to have it, welcome its revelation, and so, when in your lives it has done its searching, cleansing work, then bear it yourselves gladly, triumphantly, out into a world that needs so sorely the Light of the World.
