Shining White - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

His countenance changed
imbued with God’s love
his clothes dazzling
becoming shining white

Are we aglow
is our face lit up
shining with God’s glory
do we share the love of Christ

Are we truly his witnesses
his ambassadors in the world
do we shine the love of Jesus
into the darkness of this world

A challenge entering Lent
the somber holy season
focusing on the love of God
and sharing the light within us

Shining white into the darkness
brighter than earthy treasure
bringing Christ to our neighbors
planting seeds of hope within them

Giving up the world
in the Lenten season
a fast from our focus
on the clay of ourselves

Standing on the mountain
with Peter, with Joshua
hearing God’s holy message
and sharing it with the world
