God I need you, oh I need you. Every hour I need you.
We sing, and it’s true.
I watch a dear one wipe away tears, perhaps suddenly self-conscious (or maybe not) because no one else seems to be so visibly moved.
I see it here.
Fingerprints of the Creator in our neediness for him.
Imago Dei.
You are the light of the world
We read, and it’s true. (Matthew 5)
Maybe it’s the freshness, the possibility of a new year, but it’s hard for me to listen and not be stirred.
If only we could get this.
If only we could embrace who we are.
Friends, you were created to be light.
You are not here by accident.
You were loved into being by the true Light and you are passionately, ridiculously loved by him still.
His fingerprints are all over you.
Most especially in those places where you cannot be strong, only honest about your neediness for him.
This light is not something that we do, something that we muster up through willpower and resolve.
It’s who we are.
It’s who we’re meant to be.
Friends, you were created to be light.
Go ahead and shine.
There should be more people like you
Thank you for your kind words. And thanks for stopping by to read! 🙂
