I will be Light

Every day I try to do what is right. Every day I pray to God that I will be the light that He has called me to be./My inner man is always struggling with this concept,frustrations with my self and others prevent me from reaching my spiritual goals./ You see I am a man first./ I am  a spirit second./ This is not how it ought to be./ We should be limitless and free./ We should reflect the love that grows in us each day./ Jesus said " I am the truth, the life and the way"/ Always remembering the sacrifice that was made and the ransom  that I could not pay./ Matthew 6:24-34 says ""Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or
what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life
more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of
the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your
heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And
can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? And
why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how
they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in
all his glory was not clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the
grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the
oven, will he not much more clothe you-- you of little faith? Therefore
do not worry, saying, `What will we eat?' or `What will we drink?' or
`What will we wear?' For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these
things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these
things. But strive first for the Kingdom of Heaven and his
righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
"So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of
its own. Today's trouble is enough for today."  Maybe we don't have to try so hard./ Maybe we just have to let it be.
