like the glowing sun
at noon day bright
or like the twinkling stars
across a wide expanse
of night sky
We are to be
like Him -
The Lord
Loving
Joyful
Peace-filled
Patient
Kind
Good
Faithful
Gentle
Self-Controlled
All He says
All He wills
All He commands
Not less
If our days, our nights
are weary
and we do not shine
with the light from above
we travel a path
not pleasing to God
Our tendencies to grumble
and complain
overcome a better plan
and we give in to
self-pity, hatred, anger, envy
SIN
The light of God dwells in us
We must not keep it hidden
Jesus' death and resurrection
destroyed Satan and Sin
Be all that God intends for you
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of
evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11)
Do not let the light diminish
Focus on the Lord above
to guide you
through every day and every night.
