Jesus, Shine on me!

Light exposes the true character of everything because light makes everything easy to see. That’s why it says: “Wake up, sleeper! Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” (Ephesians 5:13-14 GW)

I quote scriptures all the time like...

Ask for wisdom, Jesus gives wisdom to all without finding fault. (James 1)

May your love abound in knowledge and depth of insight( Philippians 3, 1 Thessalonians 1, Colossians 1)

When I pray these scriptures, I am praying for Jesus to shine on me, light up my heart, motives, actions. If i do not invite and allow His Light to shine on me, I find myself much like this cartoon below kind of being aware and trying to think and love and have my being in Christ but with no direction or clue what that looks like. Just like the blind leading the blind. 

James 3:17-18,

Camelot 

However, the wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure. Then it is peaceful, gentle, obedient, filled with mercy and good deeds, impartial, and sincere. A harvest that has God’s approval comes from the peace planted by peacemakers. (James 3:17-18 GW)
