Let There Be Light

God is beautiful, mysterious, good and so much bigger than I can possibly comprehend. As a spiritual director, I only get small glimpses into His work in the lives of those with whom I journey, only short looks through a window of His Spirit into His kind plans and His grace. It may seem like nothing, these glimpses, but it really is enough, because I trust Him to be at His work with or without me. I trust Him that He’s moving, bringing about life, wholeness, redemption.

And every now and again He just opens curtains wide, just for a moment.

There’s so much light everywhere, so much glory.

And I’m humbled. Awed.

Those are the “Let there be light” moments, and the whole world burns bright.

These are the gifts of the journey. The times when walking alongside others is inarticulate joy.
