He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
John 1:8
Lord Jesus, I come before You thanking you for this day that you’ve given me recognizing that You have been good not just to me, but to all who are part of my family. When I reflect upon how less I have been, it is easy for me to want to share some of that blessing with others. Your love for me often overwhelms me leaving me in a place of utter amazement. Is it any wonder that I just have to tell somebody?
Yet, as I reflect upon how I respond to those whom You bring in my path, my desire to bless and be a blessing, I often times try to do more and be more than You have called me to be in the moment. No, I don’t think or act like I am You. But sometimes I have a mindset that I can “save them.“ I know that I truly have nothing to offer anyone apart from you. Yet, there is this thing inside me that tells me I can do more. I can deliver. That I can save them from their situation. Lord help me!
So today I come before You asking You to grant me discernment as a pertains to those with whom I engage. Continue to remind me that I am but a vessel, used by You to bring about change in the lives of others. Show me those instances where I should say no, always reminding me that pointing them towards You is always the answer. Even as John was not the Light, I am not the Light. I am just Your servant, reflecting Your glory, used by You to show people that You, and You alone are their salvation and deliverance. Amen!
