The love that shelters a weary world
is a rising light that first appears
in meek hearts, who in their weaker
moments yearn and pray and learn
to walk in fuller grace and steadier strength.
So when we feel how cramped and small
we've been, and longingly reach for a larger
light, instill in us an honest
kindness, filled with Your reflected
warmth—a spreading joy, renewed
each day as self subsides and room is made
for fuller gleams of Your unbounded love.
