There is a special light in each one of us. When we came into this world, we entered with that special light into a world full of chaos and darkness. The choice as to whether we will let our light shine in this dark world is left to us to decide. Nobody can force the light out of you and I, we have to freely give it. That decision lies within us. Light gives of itself freely, it is available everywhere. The light of day is freely given, it fills all available space, it does not seek anything in return neither does it ask whether you are friend or foe. Light is never diminished.
Some have wondered out of the light into darkness, they have gone astray and their light has been snuffed out. Each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light because when the light is on there is no darkness to be found, for light drives away darkness, and where light is darkness comprehends it not. Unfortunately, our world has become so darkened through greed, wars, hatred and a desperate hunger for power, which has created a lot of darkness in a world that could be so full of light. We all have a role to play in letting our light shine through the darkness that has engulfed our world.
Our path is illuminated by the light, for it is light that shows us the way. Even if our soul was down, it will shine in perfect light, so let your light shine. God created light, He created us to be the light of the world. The only way we can move forward and live in a better and brighter world is by letting our light shine and making a decision of choosing not to walk in darkness or get involved in the works of darkness. I encourage you to walk as children of light in your workplace, at home, at school, amongst friends and family and in the community because we are transmitters of light. Let us live and function as children of light in a dark and depressing world. Perhaps in doing this, we can help in our own little way to make the world a better and brighter place by shining some light in somebody’s dark world.
I encourage you today, in the words of Norman B. Rice, "Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light."
May your light never be diminished and may you brighten somebody’s world at their darkest hour. Wishing you God’s blessings in all that you do and thanks for reading J.
