Of Things Light And Aligning

You shine on us.

You align us.

Not sure where this little couplet has appeared from in my head over the last couple of days. Usually when something inspired appears to me from nowhere, it turns out that someone had mentioned it a while back and it has only just filtered through to the front of my brain.

I've Google searched it to see if it's a song lyric or a quote, but no-one is owning up to it.

But I'm using it as a prayer, wherever it has emerged from.

I don't just want to be someone who is aware of God's light shining. I want to get aligned to the source of that light, so I become more like Him. It must be the case that the more aligned with God's light I am, the more effective a light and pointer to the greatest light I might be able to be for those around me.

I can't be a light independent of the source, although I'm acutely and painfully aware that this is often the case.

Sometimes it feels that I always have to relearn the same lessons. I want to not just appreciate the light, but be aligned to it. In a meaningful way.
