The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. ~ John 1:9 (NLT)
Lord over all nations and people, you have shown your power to everyone. You do not want anyone to be excluded. I admit that my thinking is narrow compared to yours. I'm mostly interested in people who are like me -- people from my tribe -- my family -- my country. But you refuse to limit yourself. You even show your light to people who are not interested in you. That's how I became interested. When I heard your story and recognized your loving heart, I wanted to be a part of what you are doing. Open my eyes so that I can see how much you love the individuals and groups who are not like me. Help me to share the light of Jesus with everyone today. Amen.
