God is colorful! Love illuminates the world. The force beyond recognition sheds light on all things. There is no nook or cranny that can hide from the light of love. It isn’t necessarily about dispelling the darkness but of having the opportunity to see it for what it really is. It is about not hiding in the darkness pretending that its familiarity brings safety. The comfort that embodies the light of love far surpasses any comfort we experience in the darkness. When I want to stay in a dark place simply because it is what I know and am comfortable, I have lost sight of the beauty that illuminates my life. It is a beauty that when embraced shines the light of love to the very situation that I think lacks love. God looks me in the eye and reminds me that at my core, there is light, there is love, and there is life. I believe my experiences of this world. I think my circumstances tell me who I am or who I am to be. I need the illumination of love to remind me to whom I am beholden. I find it frustrating how easily I forget but God never tires in reminding me. For God it is the dance of relationship and the opportunity to be sparked in a special way this day as I wake up to the illumination of love’s light in my heart this moment.
Be Of Illumination!
on May 20, 2016My prayer for us is the courage to receive the gentle illumination God shows us when we are willing to let go of the comfort of the darkness we know today.
If God does not begrudge us the number of times we forget the illuminated love that lives in our hearts, what do you get out of continuing to begrudge yourself? Share in the comments.
