The saving light of Christ

Picture this:
someone sits in a darkened room
with the shutters closed,
lost in fear or worry or gloom,
while outside there is
the most abundant sunlight.
Then, lo, someone goes to the
window and opens those shutters,
letting the glorious light in,
Now, think about this promise
in Psalms 119:30:
"The entrance of thy
words giveth light."
How many times this has
been my experience.
Of course, the sulight in this
poem is the Christ, Truth,
and those who have illumined
my darkness have been, and are
those dear souls who have
loved and lived and spoken
and written the truths of
Christ's divine Science.
How indebted I do feel!
And to think that you
and I can -- just maybe --
do the same for some
other one who sits in the
darkness of misery or sin,
thus letting Christ's wonderful/
marvelous/saving light in.
