God Tells us we are to be
a light to all nations.
What a grand scheme,
He asks of us.
Yet, here we are,
in our humble lives,
as we ask how to carry out
His Will,
and be this light to all
nations.

His light dwells within us,
and shines through us,
to others,
in an encouraging smile,
a soft word of praise.

These small acts of kindness,
are never to be taken lightly.
For it is in these moments,
that the world can change.
One broken heart at a time.
Touched
by His Light
radiating from a soul,
that is His.

Isaiah 42:5 thru 9

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

It is a grand calling to be a house of Light to all Nations and joined together we can reach our world in darkness with our joined acts of kindness. Thank you for keeping His flame alive in you and passing it on to so many others, Bob <><

No act of kindness should ever be taken lightly. The smallest of actions in his name can be a magnitude of promise to one in need. Lovely write.

Oh, Ellie~
I was immediately reminded of my favorite
Sunday School song the children sing -

This little light of mine -
I'm gonna let it shine

We all need to make the time to shine our light into the hearts of others.

A lovely and thoughtful pen.
