God you are strong. You are gentle.
We think your love is like a sunrise.
Thank you that Jesus is like the brightest sun.
Help us be like little lights.
Help us shine brightly too.
Amen.

Great, but want to be not just little light but the biggest, brightest, fattest light I can be !?!
Yes, Dagmar, I like your point, is rather determinative to say 'little lights'. I wanted to say that in contrast to all Jesus is, but it is cutting down options. What could happen though is in the next sentence 'Let us shine too' it could change to 'Let us shine brightly too'. It puts the Gunning Fog index up by about 2 weeks of learning, so that doesn't diminish access especially. It's changed!
