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.
We are told in the Bible to “keep our wicks trimmed and our lamps full of oil”. This means should keep our inner lamp bright and full of fuel. We do this by following God’s will within, so that our light shines without. Nothing can hide this light when it shines, and nothing can replace it, when it does not.
So today, let us think, speak and act in ways so that our inner light is bright, strong and permanent. Then we will light, not only our own Eden, but also everyone’s garden whom we touch.
Shine one,

Author’s Note: A new family joins us in the Garden today. They live their faith each day and spread true light to all they touch. We are blessed to have them in the Garden.
Best,
