Cultivate Light Day 2

Day 2: Question of the day: What kind of light are you?

So it’s day two. Wow.  We’re learning more about the jobs we have to do, more about each other and more about our families. I hope you are starting to see the light of Christ in one another. There is a popular gospel tune that says the “Jesus in me loves the Jesus in you.” Your site team is made up of people with different skills, different backgrounds, different life experiences, different levels of patience….you get the picture and the most important thing is that you all have the light of Christ within you. You all have Jesus inside of you. Rumi, a persian poet born in 807AD (and surprisingly one of the most popular poets in the United States today) says “The lamps are different but the light is the same.” We are all different people but we came here because of the same God.

You may think your light small, but it can make a huge difference in other people’s lives. See Matthew 5:15 Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it give light to everyone in the house. Shine God’s light to everyone in this home. Shine light on your team. Shine light on your work. Shine light in your attitude. Shine light in this community. Shine on!

Prayer: Dear Lord, the creator of light. Help our witness, which is our words, actions and deeds, to reflect the light of Christ at this home, at our camp and all throughout this week.  Amen.
