Being the light of God

"Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven."
Enable us to know, as in heaven, so on earth, God is omnipotent, supreme.

"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
Genesis 1:3

"The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory."
Isaiah 60:19

"For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
2 Corinthians 4:6

"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."
1 John 1:5

"The manifestation of God through mortals is as light passing through the window-pane. The light and the glass never mingle, but as matter, the glass is less opaque than the walls. The mortal mind through which Truth appears most vividly is that one which has lost much materiality--much error--in order to become a better transparency for Truth. Then, like a cloud melting into thin vapor, it no longer hides the sun."

You - yes you - are the Light of God made manifest!

So don't be surprised when others find you spiritually attractive. Instead, pass your gratitude back to God, gratitude that you are becoming a transparency for His likeness, His Light. And notice now too how you see that same Light being reflected to you in everyone you see and and everyone you meet! Receive the Love that comes with that. And be ready to live that Love, to reflect the blessing God gives you to share with those around you in those moments.

Don't be afraid to be spiritually attractive! It just means you are about your Father's business. It just means you have an opportunity to be a blessing to everyone you see and everyone you meet. Just be sure to get ego out of the way. Then you'll truly be God's reflection and let Him do the shining!
