The broken man was drawn to the mountain and its glacier. The
cause of his brokenness is not revealed, but as he embraces Mont Blanc and its
melting glacier, he encounters a healing power which restores his soul. The healing
touch leaves his left hand and forearm forever changed, charged with an inner
light which glows warmly in the dark.
This was the story in the French film we watched last night.
A fitting story during this week of the American election,
the results which have broken the hearts of many and left them reeling. The
light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. In the days
to come, may we all be drawn constantly to the love of God. May we all be
filled with the light of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit. Lord, let your
healing touch forever change us, those who follow Jesus, so that our lives are
charged with an inner, divine light which glows warmly in the dark. May we
trust in God as we negotiate whatever is to come.
‘As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a
flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place
remembers it no more. But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is
with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children –’
(Ps 103)
May your righteousness be with our children’s children,
empowering and strengthening them. From everlasting to everlasting.
Help us to keep our eyes on you.
