“Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.” Isaiah 58:10 NLT
Famous is a light to me and a light to neighbors. He is an emissary who accompanies me on the occasional visit to neighbors who might need a note of cheer. Today he walked beside me to deliver a meal to a neighbor who had been away for most of the summer as she recovered from a broken hip. Finally, she was able to return to her home–but without her companion, her Boston terrier. Afraid she might not be able to safely walk her pet, she is living, for now, without her. The meal will be of some comfort, but hopefully so will the awareness that we are glad she is back in the “hood.”
I am amazed at the reaction of people who have not learned to share God’s light. Rather than see the blessing, they see an imposition or a threat. They have been deceived into believing they are safer alone, separate, and apart from God. We are only given so many opportunities to share God’s light in this world before He calls us home. Why waste a single opportunity?
Forgive me when my darkness of fear prevents me from stepping into Your light of truth.
