Arise. Shine.

Isaiah 60:1a: Arise, shine; for your light has come...

I was reading a devotional this morning from the Upper Room book Disciplines.  The author (Natalie Hanson) was using this scriputre as the basis of what she was writing.  She said, "We catch light from one another; God models it.  We're given the great priviledge of helping ignite other live.  We catch light from each other -- or darkness."

Are you contagious?  Am I?  This scripture would tell us that we all are.  Others can "catch" the light of Christ from us, or they can catch darkness. 

Do others rise and shine in God's glory because of me?  Because of you? 

What do we need to do to brighten the light of Christ in ourselves?  To be open to become an agent of God? 

How can we refrain from spreading the darkness?
