Steady Light

I want to burn as a steady light

never waning.

I want a flame that maintains its glow
in the darkest of nights,
the coldest of days.
I want a warmth that draws others in
never excluding.
My fuel is constant
never emptying.

My source is powerful

in the driest of hours,
the bleakest of moments.
My source is Jesus
always full,
always flowing.
May my life, my heart be a pleasing aroma to You, Lord.

“Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning." Exodus 27:20
