Steeped in Love

Whatever is steeped in grape juice
will acquire the flavor of the grape.
Whether it be carrots or apples or quinces and walnuts,
you will taste in them the delicious flavor of the grape.

When your knowledge is steeped in the light of faith,
then wayward people will receive light from it.
Whatever you say will be luminous...
--Rumi

Lord, let me be steeped in your Love to share, to be luminous to all. Let me no longer have my own flavor, but instead reek of everything you are. Your victory over sin and death is the light that should shine through me, so that those who seek a guide might find You. Amen.
