For you were once darkness,
but now
You are Light in the Lord.
Live as children of light…

~ Ephesians 5:8

I need a lighter life. A life that’s brighter. Unburdened. Uplifted. All the nouns and verbs defining the word “lightened.”

A life that moves away from darkness and into the clarity of day.

A life that casts off the burdens I was never meant to bear.

A life that embraces joy.

My One Word for 2014: Lighten.

For this Light within you produces only
what is good
and right
and true.

~ Ephesians 5:9
