Unscripted reflections on this week’s texts.
It’s one thing to shine with the goodness of God; it’s another to know we’re shining, to become aware that others need us or want us to shine. Perhaps our deepest temptations happen right in those moments. Knowing how others see us, we can so easily lose our way, turning off the path God has laid out for us. Only the Spirit can lead us along the edge between despair and presumption, an edge all of us have to walk, sooner and later. And it is a way that leads always into the valley of the shadow of death and through it—never around it.
