Thought for the day – Sunday 14th June 2020
Bible reading : Luke 11:34-36
“Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness. See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you”
Jesus tells us many times that what really matters is what goes on in our hearts. Our eyes are a gatekeeper to the inner life within our hearts. This is why what we look at, and how we look at it matters so much.
Today let us ask God to open the eyes of our hearts, ask God for forgiveness for when we have looked at things that we know and feel are wrong, and to forgive the parts of us that are unkind or selfish. Let us guard what we look at and what we let into our hearts. Let us look to Christ to fill our hearts with His love, so that our eyes will shine His light, His mercy and His goodness.
