Light in darkness

In a moment of prayer for the people caught up in the Manchester bomb attack we took the time to think about the light that God calls us to share, by reflecting on an adaption of some of the verses from Isaiah

Is not this the kind of light I have chosen?

A light that

Loosens the chains of injustice

Unties the cords of the yoke,

Sets the oppressed free

And breaks every yoke

A light that

Seeks to share food with the hungry

Provide the poor wanderer with shelter

Clothes the naked and doesn't turn away from its own flesh and blood

Yes this is the light I require

For as you shine 

Your light will break forth like the dawn,

And you will raise up the age-old foundations;

You will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,

And a restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

So let your light shine
