God is Light ... So Be the Window!

It is said several times in the Bible that God is light, or a light ... For example: "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." (I John 1:5) There are many other references just to light, which apply to God and His Word. I have been working recently about God as Light and our relationship to that light.




Recently I have had some job interviews, and one piece of advice my wife would give me is "Let your light shine!" While a wonderful thought, it has occurred to me that the only true Light comes from God. So in reality, I'm not letting MY light shine, I should be letting THE light shine. And how does one let the light shine so others can see it? Well, when there is a light in a house (of consciousness, in this case), do we draw the blinds or close the door to enable others to see the light? No! We open the blinds and make sure the window is clean, so the light shines brightly for all to see and acknowledge.

This is how we can think of ourselves - if God is the Light, and we are made in His image and likeness - e.g., as his expression - then we project, live and express the qualities of God. So for God's light to shine, it's up to us to be the window through which God's light shines brightly for all to see.

Doing good, thinking good, expressing all the good that God possesses (which is infinite), are ways that we are the window for the divine Light. And where that Light shines, there "is no darkness at all." The Light is infinite; it is our duty to clear out all the darkness in our thought and consciousness - envy, hate, lust, self-will, criticism, self-condemnation, egotism, etc. - so that we are a clear window for that Light, so the Light can be infinitely expressed.

Every morning, make sure to let THE Light shine ... in you! It is the only thing your Father-Mother, God, asks of you.
