There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. - John 1:6-10

Dear Jesus,

I know that you will keep sending special people into my life too bless me and help me grow just like you sent John the Baptist. When they come, help me not to expect too much from them. It’s easy to think that they should give me more than they are capable. There is only one you, one Savior, one author of my soul. In gratitude for the family, friends, and leaders you give me, I will live in peace with their failings and I will look to you for things that only a god could give. That way I will not resent their humanness. Be my light today so I reflect your love and truth to myself and others.

AMEN

People cannot let you down if you do not raise them up.
