A Light Shone on _____,
Exposing Vulnerabilities
by Ian Mascarenhas
A few weeks ago I was traveling to an early morning meeting in a rural area. As I drove around a curve, my headlights shone, and I saw a rabbit along the side of the road. As soon as the area around the creature was brightened, the rabbit scurried for cover, and quickly disappeared.
I continued to my meeting, but realized a lesson that God was teaching me. The light that illuminated the roadway and the area along the side also exposed the rabbit and its vulnerability to predators.
The light of God also shines on us and what gets revealed is the way we are living, the choices we are making. But it is God, who in love is calling us to come closer. Do we avoid God, and rather run to cover up further separating/disconnecting from our loving Creator?
The choice we face is to do an Examination of Conscience, then choose to reunite with God or continue to remain apart, wandering around. God wants to have a personal relationship/connection with each of us. We make the choice to participate.

A man was talking to his friend and said, “I’m not as close to God as I used to be.”
His friend responded, “Who moved?”
