Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matthew 5:16).
The state of your soul is always expressed in your outer conditions and in the intangible influence that you radiate at large. There is a cosmic law that nothing can permanently deny its own nature. Emerson said: “what you are shouts so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.” The soul that is built upon prayer cannot be hidden, it shines out brightly through the life that it lives. It speaks for itself, but in utter silence, and does much of its best work unconsciously. Its mere presence heals and blesses all around it.
Today, and every day, we have the choice between shining the light of love or casting darkness upon those around us. That choice is not made by how we act, but by how we choose to think. No outer conditions can hide the light of love and no amount amount of superficial activity can enlighten inner darkness.
It is when we face and our negative thoughts, and ask God to lift us above them, that we overcome them. This requires honesty with ourselves and willingness to ask God for help. This takes courage and humility coupled with the desire to live in light and love. When we honestly face our negative thoughts, submit them to God and depend of God’s strength, we can heal the inner self. Then our light will shine from within and our world will be enlightened without.
