"Ever Pouring... Gentle Tides... Cleansing."

Today, my prayer has been: "Lord, penetrate our darkness with Your Light!" 

In my morning reading, this verse from 1 John 1:7, along with this illustration from the life of a coal miner makes my prayer for light more focused:

"The blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin." 
-- 1 John 1;7 

"Learn a lesson from the coal miner, who all day is working amid the flying coal dust. When he emerges in the light of day his face may be grimy enough; but his eyes are clear and lustrous, because the fountain of tears in the lachrymal gland is ever pouring its gentle tides over the eye, cleansing away each speck of dust as soon as it alights? Is it not the miracle of cleansing which our spirits need in such a world as this? And this is what our blessed Lord is prepared to do for us by His cleansing blood, if only we will trust Him?" 
(D.L. Moody quoting F.B. Meyer)

Give away your life... To The Light, H
Jesus, Who is Ever-Cleansing!
