Spirituality can add a light to each of us. It is surrounding us, even in our darkest moments. Perhaps it seems to only be a flicker, as a candle darts its light inside a carved pumpkin during our Autumn season at Thanksgiving. But, it never goes out.
Just as that candle is especially bright within the harvested pumpkin, the light of the Spirit is glowing brightly within us. We, too, are being nourished to be gleaned one day, for a new life, an eternity with God. Those who have gone before us never stopped receiving this wondrous light. Now, they live in exquisite brightness, as they have joined our Trinitarian God, where the glow is beyond anything we can describe. Our loved ones are being kept warm at at peace, basking in the light or our glorious Lord.
"Your word is a lamp before my feet and a light for my journey."
Psalm 119:105 (CEB)
"You are the light of the world. A city on top of a hill can't be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on top of a lampstand, and it shines on all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before people, so they can see the good things you can do and praise your Father who is in heaven."
Matt 5:14-16 (CEB)
"Within you is the spring of life. In your light, we see light."
Psalm 36:9
