Shining Light - Traditional

Jesus, you said your yoke was easy and your burden light. You meant that you would help us carry that burden, not that we can toss out the parts we think will be heavy. You are the light of the world, not just our light. You want all people to be saved, not just the people who are like us. You give us power and light to reach out to the ends of the earth, not just inside our own circles. You are holy, and You created us to be holy as well. Forgive us when we limit Your grace and power because we are afraid of growing into the full measure of the stature of Christ. Amen.
