Father Henri J. M. Nouwen’s Daily Meditation – Wednesday,
January 8, 2014 “Enough Light for the Next Step”
Often we want to be able to see into the future. We say,
"How will next year be for me? Where will I be five or ten years from
now?" There are no answers to these questions. Mostly we have just enough
light to see the next step: what we have to do in the coming hour or the
following day. The art of living is to enjoy what we can see and not complain
about what remains in the dark. When we are able to take the next step with the
trust that we will have enough light for the step that follows, we can walk
through life with joy and be surprised at how far we go. Let's rejoice in the
little light we carry and not ask for the great beam that would take all
shadows away.
