Sunday: Light Up
We all know someone that lights up the room when they walk in. We are drawn to them like a moth to a lamp. Jesus was a light in a time when the shadows of oppression lurked in the lives of those with no power or status. And he invites us to be that light —joining our small light with others so that collectively, we can make sure that evil is exposed.
“For those who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed. But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God.” — John 3: 20-21
Reflection: What evil will you resist with your light?
Prayer: Illuminating God, I come before you today to be called in from the shadows
to bask in the light of your mercy
and work to light the corners where evil lurks.
In this moment of quiet,
I listen carefully for what’s up.
