“Let your light shine before others, so they may see your good works and give glory to your God in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16
Have you ever felt like you were in total darkness having no idea of which way to turn? When you are in total darkness, there may be nothing as soothing or as reassuring to you as a glimpse of light. This is sometimes referred to as the light at the end of the tunnel.
Positive Christianity knows that every dark, nighttime experience holds the promise of the dawn of a new day. As little Annie sings, in the Broadway musical, the sun WILL come up tomorrow!
Through His teachings and way of life, Jesus became a beacon of light for all humanity, a shining light through which you can gain clearer vision. As you live by the Christ ideal, you will become a radiating beacon of light and love for others.
Say this prayer, today: “I let my light shine now.” Through your loving thoughts and kind actions, you show the world that Jesus’ message is alive in you. At the speed of light, your actions and love-filled words take flight and wing their way to every open mind and heart.
As you let your light shine, you light up your own personal world as well as those around you that may be in a temporary darkness.
There are millions of people around the world that have made the decision to rise above mediocrity, and become lights of God, radiating God’s love to the dark areas of people’s lives.
It is important that we let go of who we have been, to stretch ourselves further to what we are now becoming.
Who am I? What makes me who I am? Is it your surroundings, your work, or the people you associate with? Are you only a reflection of how you were raised?
If you are searching for your own identity, you will find that it is not who you have been, but who you strive to be that is important in life and in spirituality.
As you allow the wonder of God to work through you, you will find your true self looking back at you in the mirror. When you face the present and the future with a commitment to be a light to your world, you face a very bright future with a firm grasp of where you are going and who you are. You can thank God for the new person that you are now becoming. You can thank God for the love and support that will provide you with all you need to let go of the darkness of the old-self, and start over with a new and improved you that is filled with God’s light.
You love God’s light that streams brightly into your world and guides you to do and be what you should do and be. You love God’s light that is the life of your body, the life that is not measured out to you in days, months, or years, but in eternity. You love God’s peace that enfolds and sustains you, making you relaxed and at peace. You love God’s light that supplies you with all your needs, supports you, and allows you to be a part of God’s law of giving and receiving.
In the light of God, you cannot fear darkness. In the light of God you are fearless and unafraid; you are tranquil; you are free.
Say this prayer, today: “I let my light shine now.”
