Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. (Isaiah 60:1 NIV)
Abba, our beloved Lord and Savior, You delivered us from the darkness, clothed us with honor, and made us Your disciples. You are the greatest master for You are the only one who taught with perfect examples. The life You lived when You were here on earth gave light to our path, so we can clearly see the wrong steps we have taken and how to correct them. As we learn to perfectly live according to Your perfect examples, we begin to shine with the light You have given us. May Your light radiating through us enlighten the paths of our fellow, so we may lead them to You. May we help them see Your righteous ways that can bring them out of the darkness to live in Your marvelous light. Lord, please always cleanse us with Your words, so we may be the disciples with Your likeness, who can proclaim Your greatness, holiness, and glory to the whole world. We pray this in Your precious name, Christ Jesus. Amen.
