A Light Shining In


When I take God for granted he is still there shining into my life
He makes me reflect that light on to others
Yet I seem to always strafe from the target
It's a sad state to be in, but this is not something God will give up at
He will carry me on and cause me to shine brightly
But now that I notice what is happening
I can look at God willingly and instead of him carrying me
We walk side by side
For as long as I will and then when I am weak
There we shall go again
And he will never let me fail
I will always shine

At the end of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (don't keep reading if you haven't seen the movie) as Jim Carrey's memory of Clementine is about to be erased forever she implants one last subconscious thought in his head, "Meet me in Montauk". As Christians, when we forget we need to meet God in Montauk, the place we first met. We need to go back to the beginning to see where God has brought us. That's where I need to go.

Let me shine
