You Are The Light

YOU ARE THE LIGHT!

A prayer by Robert Hawker

Precious Jesus, you are the Source, the Fountain, the Author, the Finisher
of all.

“Oh the depths of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are your judgments, and your ways past finding out.”

What was the day, the ever-blessed, ever-to-be-remembered day, when
you—who commanded the light to shine out of darkness—shone in upon
my heart?

And when did Jesus, the day-dawn and the day-star, arise to give us “the
light of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, in the face of Jesus
Christ?”

Glorious light and life of my soul! Continue your sweet influence, morning
by morning, at dawn, and during the evening star of your grace. Continue
until, after many wintry days of my blindness, ignorance, and senseless
state, you renew me in the precious discoveries of your love.

By this I am carried through all the twilight of this poor dying state of
things below. For then I will awake to the full enjoyment of you in glory. I
will see you in one full, open day; and I will be made like you in your
kingdom of light, and life, and happiness, forever and ever. Amen.
