Called to Bring God’s Light to our World

LIGHT – illuminates, it helps us to see.  Isaiah tells us “… light shall arise for you in the darkness.”  de Sales wrote, “Great occasions of serving God seldom present themselves, but little ones are frequent …. ‘Do all things in the name of God & you will do all things well.’”  {Reflections of St. Francis deSales on Living Jesus, p.109}

One Sunday as they drove home from church, a little girl said to her mother, “Mommy, there is something about today’s homily that I don’t understand.’

Mom said, “What is it?”

The little girl replied, “Well, he said that God is bigger than we are.  He said God is so big that He could hold the whole world in His hand.  Is that true?”

Mom replied, “Yes, that’s true ….”  But Mommy, he also said that God lives inside us.  Is that true, too?”  Again, Mom said that was true!  With a puzzled look the little asked, “If God is bigger than us and He lives in us, wouldn’t He show through?”   

The little girl is right about God showing through, when God shows though our actions – we are LIGHT for the world.

We are light for all to see God’s goodness!  A disciple allows God’s LIGHT to shine through her or him.  Since December 21^st we have been gaining a little more light each day. 

  

As disciples we are challenged to allow God’s light to shine through us, a little more each day.  We are called to follow God’s WORD, to make God’s WORD our center.

Spending some time today reading and praying God’s WORD; it will enable you to be “… a light in the darkness ….”  Allow God’s grace to guide you mold you as we share the Lord’s Light with the world.

May God Be Praised!
