There is something surreal about sleeping on a blowup mattress on the floor of a borrowed church. Our youth group is on a mission trip at Mission Arlington, and I am providing charity care at the associated clinic. Tonight as I drifted off to sleep I saw the light shining through the cross-shaped decorative window. It was impressive how one window can catch the light from several directions and shine a reflection all across the long wall in the church, making 8 cross-shaped figures. One window, catching the light from several outdoor street lamps, magnified and clarified the light in a brilliant display all along the wall.
This led me to think, "How am I allowing the power of Christ's cross to magnify and clarify the light of the Holy Spirit living in me?" As we allow our gifts and talents to be used for the God who designed them, Christ's cross will clarify and magnify those efforts. And what a beautiful display that could make on this world.
