Jesus is the Light

 

Jesus is the Light of the World.

He stands beside us and we don’t see.

He speaks to us, but we don’t hear.

His arms surround us and we don’t feel.

He enters our senses but we are unaware-

Jesus surrounds us with Love that we fail to recognize.

 

We know little loves—

The love of being loved—

The love for those who are easy to love.

 

O Lord enlarge our senses to experience You—

The You that is too big for us to comprehend—

And thus quit searching for that something else ….

 

I desire to see Your Face

And know and reflect

Your incredible Love

Oh Lord, to love as You love!!

 

It does not matter as much that Jesus was here hundreds of years ago—

It matters that JESUS IS HERE NOW!

That he loves his people here—

The ones who have made a covenant with HIM

And those who have not.

 

Those who covenant with Him

Rejoice in His Love—

In His Nearness.

Yet—those who walk in pathways of deception

Must be reached.

 

The Light of His Glory must shine as a reflection

In the faces of those who continually seek Him.

 

Lord, Clean me, Shine me, so that YOUR LIGHT is fully reflected.
