Morning Devotions with Cap'n Kenny - The Gospel Tree

The Gospel Tree

"a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed."

~ Luke 2:34b-35a (NIV)

There was a shining Christmas tree Standing out where all could see. Its brilliance captured every eye And seemed to cheer each passer by.

“The lights are so bright,” they would say And hesitate to walk away. The tree stood proud ablaze with light For every light was burning bright.

Then one bulb was heard to say “I’m tired of burning night and day; I think I’ll just go out and take a rest For I’m too tired to do my best; Besides I am so very small I doubt if I’d be missed at all.” Then a child lovingly touched the light, “Look, mother, this one shines so very bright.

I think of all the lights upon the tree This one looks the best to me.” “Oh my goodness,” said the light “I almost dimmed right out of sight.

I thought perhaps no one would care If I failed to shine my share.” With that a glorious brilliance came For every light had felt the same.

Our Gospel, like this Christmas tree, With little lights which are you and me, We each have a space that we must fill With love, and lessons and good will.

Let’s keep our tree ablaze with light, With testimonies burning bright. For our Gospel is a living tree That lights the way to eternity.

Lord, help me to keep my Gospel ablaze with light throughout the coming year. Amen.

In Jesus,
Cap'n Kenny
