{Light}

This post is part of a series from the hope*writers New Year Writing Challenge.  Here is my post from day 2: Light.

"In him was life, and the life was the light of men.  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John 1:4-5 ESV

Light of man
Darkness defeated
My own soul opens
to receive Your life.

Beacon of hope
for all creation
My weary heart
seeks rest.

In You I find
Love everlasting
Light never failing.

Living surrendered
is life fully lived.
Shine Your light
on the dark places
of my soul.

Life, Light of men,
illuminate my life
to shine abundantly.
