William Wilberforce, member of English parliament at the end of the 18th century who fought for the abolition of slavery, once took his friend, the Prime Minister of England, William Pitt, to hear a famous minister preach. During the service Wilberforce had felt, as he said, his soul rise to heaven, but Pitt said he had not the faintest idea what the preacher had been talking about. Light had shone into Wilberforce\u2019s heart; but Pitt\u2019s heart remained darkened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the realm where the light illuminates, our course is beyond our control.
The manner in which it graces us remains beyond our sway.
Whether we find ourselves in its radiance or shadow, influence eludes us frequently.
However, our response to The Light \u2014 that is where our role unfolds.
Wishing a great week anticipating The Light of Christmas
