Light of the nations. You are my hope. I come to you in the darkness–morning and night–looking to the One who out of love, became human.

I am seeking signs of Your light.

With a single candle lit, I will wait. Watching in unlikely places for movement,that my heart, too, might be moved. Moved from places of blindness to sight,corners of isolation to a willing embrace stubborn complacency to willing participation and selfish fears to selfless joy.

Rouse me from my sleepy habits and awaken me to the excitement of your arrival. May I never cease watching for your humble and promised entrance into my life.
