Walking in the Light

5This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
8If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.

It's Morning, Jesus
The sun is slowly coming up this morning, inexorably pushing away the darkness.
There is no darkness, no thick of night, no fog of morning, that can settle in forever against your light.

Burn a light in me, Jesus.
Let the rose colored fingers of the light of your love
Radiantly beam into the depths of my soul
My hurts, my pains, my sleepiness
My joy, my excitement, my eagerness.

Let your light shine, not in human energy
But in divine impress.
Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
as you guided Moses
and the people of Israel
With burning bush
and pillar of fire by night
and cloud of knowing by day.

I will listen for you
I will look for you
I will read your word for you
I will wait for you
I will discern for you.

You word tells me that in the fellowship of love I will find you
Your words tells me there is no darkness in you at all.

So I look for you today, to join you in your work.

Amen
