I never tire of these words of Jesus written down by Matthew:
Matthew 5:14-16 (GWT) “You are light for the world. A city cannot be hidden when
it is located on a hill. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket.
Instead, everyone who lights a lamp puts it on a lamp stand. Then its light
shines on everyone in the house. In the same way let your light shine in front
of people. Then they will see the good that you do and praise your Father in
heaven."
When I was a little boy in Sunday School, Mrs. Frankie and Mrs. Ruby taught me these words in a little song. I never tire of it either:
"This little light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine!!!"
Be Light! Go Shine!

Your Gentle Whisper, Lord...
(11) The LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
(12) After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.
(13) When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
-- 1 Kings 19:11-13 (NIV)
Almighty Personal God...
Today, I pray that we as Your beloved ones
will hear Your holy and healing voice.
Yes, according to Your pure and perfect desires for us --
after the winds have blown
and the earthquakes have shook,
and the fires have threatened --
allow us to hear Your gentle whisper, Lord,
inviting us out of the dark caves of this life
and into Your loving and everlasting light.
We pray in the Name of the One called
"The Light of the World."
We know that You alone, Almighty Personal God...
are worthy of all our worship and praise.
So as we wait to hear your gentle whisper, Lord,
Here we are to worship You!
Amen.
