Light Your World - Through His Presence!

Have you ever felt that God was not near you? I guess that most of us have had that feeling of loneliness at one time or another in our lives. Today's reading is a good reminder of His Presence and the fact that He is "nearer than you dare believe, closer than the air you breathe!"  I have heard sermons on this topic that reinforce the understanding that if I feel apart from God, it is I who have moved - not God!

After several readings of today's scripture from 2 Corinthians 5:21, my understanding is that we are to be THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God. I think that must be what Sarah Young meant when she wrote about letting God live through us  so that we can shine His light into the darkness of our world.  I recently posted the beautiful Christian song, "Go Light Your World," after a friend sent it to me in reference to an earlier blog. However, the lyrics speak profoundly about today's reading. I pray that as you listen to the words, you may be called to "light your world" as you are assured of God's Presence!
