I Witness

John 1:6-9  There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.  This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.  He was not the Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.  That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

Father, You put Your light in us that others may see and know You.  You call us Your witnesses because You want us to give our testimony of You in our lives.  You want us to testify of Your goodness, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, peace, joy, love, patience, and self-control.  Sometimes You want us to bear witness to our Light shining in darkness through actions and sometimes through words.  Strengthen us to be solid testimonies of who You are, remind us of all that You have done and have promised to do, knowing none of Your promises fail.  Give us a Light that shines brilliantly to others and ourselves so that we know why we are here.
