The Cross. The Light. Inseparable.
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."
Matthew 5:16 NKJV
The Crystal Cross
This morning a shaft of sunlight streaming through one of the skylights enveloped the crystal cross in the living room. The cross gleamed in a shower of light, rainbows shooting out in all directions through its smooth folds. Awestruck, I sat in reverential quiet to capture the splendor of the cross. Everything near the illuminated sculpture was bathed in its lightshow.
After I left the room, I paused in the hallway for one last look at the radiant sight. I whispered a prayer that Christ would shine His beautiful light ever brightly through my life for His purpose.
Heavenly Father, may your love and light shine brightly through me today wherever I go, for your glory. In Jesus' name. Amen.
