“May God be gracious to us and bless us and make His face shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations.” Psalm 67:1

I read just a bit about Saint Patrick’s life today. He endured kidnapping and slavery as a young man. He finally escaped, but came back to the land he had been held captive. Interesting how he knew the life of slavery and freedom, but once free, he went back to set others spiritually free. Could it be that in freedom we find God to be gracious, full of blessings that feels like sunshine on our face? Not just when all is well, but even when circumstances say otherwise. Maybe that is what will be used to attract others to His way and His power that saves. May we be found with our faces shining on this day.
