Luke 8:16
“No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that those who enter may see the light.”

How hard it is to be a light in this world when the people you are with don’t seem very receptive…if not downright resistant to it! Sometimes we can lack confidence that we’ll be able to say what will truly matter in those tough situations. But, to paraphrase part of a prayer Mother Teresa often quoted: “Do it anyway.” It’s not our job to change people’s minds or to change their hearts…that’s up to the Holy Spirit. Our job is to reflect the light of God in our actions and words as best we can through the imperfect faculties we’ve been given. Remember…we are the caregivers. God…is the cure-giver.
