But each of us was
given grace according to the measure of Christ’s gift. (Ephesians
4:7)
Do you remember
this song, “This little light of mine”?
I recall singing that at the top of my lungs at summer camp and Vacation
Bible School every year. I love songs
that have actions that go alongside and accompany. I remember putting my index finger in the air
to represent my “light” and waving my finger around like I just didn’t
care.
I wonder, where
are you shining and sharing your light right now? With your family? With your friends? With your neighbors? With those in the wider community through
volunteering? You shine your light
through giving your time, offering your talents, and sharing your treasure.
After you reflect
on your own light, where does your light join with others? In those summer camp experiences I learned
that one flashlight was good, but several flashlights could help us see even
better, especially when we all coordinated and collaborated on which direction
we should shine our collective light!
You are given
grace freely and called to let God’s grace loose in your life in ways that
bless others. Each day is a new day to
faithfully offer God’s presence in this world.
To be sure, we don’t always get right, but with God’s love all will be
alright. Prayerful ponder the gifts
within you in these day and ways you can offer your full self to others.
Prayer: Let Your
light spark within me, O God, a warmth that I am enlightened and empowered to
share with others. Amen.
