shaft of light

Wednesday September 26^th, James 3: ¹⁷But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. ¹⁸Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness. Sometimes in the middle of fighting the alligators it is hard to remember we were sent to drain the swamp.  Keeping your eye, your heart, your soul, focused on the love of God, and letting your life revolve around that love, can get pretty frustrating at times.  It seems like everyone else is getting ahead and you are getting the shaft.  That is until you realize that what they are getting ahead at isn’t what it seems and that shaft you have been complaining about just might be a shaft of light.
