What I have yet to tell you is that my Friend “sheds a ray of light divine” and tears the dark night. That is also what He did for me. His radiant light illuminated my life and led me to Jesus, our Saviour – I can never thank Him enough!
But He is not content with enlightening and leading me, a poor man, to salvation. He radiates His light into this world so that all people may recognise the Messiah whom the Heavenly Father has sent to us.
Do you see what my divine Friend is like?
He is the “Father of the poor”, of those who seek Him and wait for salvation from God; of those who do not rely on their own strength, but know that they are in need of Him. He fills these “poor” with His gifts and wants to enlighten every heart with His light.
