“August 31—“ The more light you give, the more you will keep.””

— He and I by Gabrielle Bossis

12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)

14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. 15 Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16)

05 Thy word is a lamp to my feet
    and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:05)

Prayer Meditation- Lord today You give a brief Word to Gabrielle. So often You are whispering exactly that, little Words of love into our ears and we barely pay any attention. Today You ask us to be light, to give light to others. But where does that light come from- it comes from You by following You and Your Word and spending time in Your Presence. And if we let that light shine we will indeed keep it even as we give it because Your Light multiples in us as we give You glory and offer everything for You and the salvation of souls! Fiat!
