Something to Think About

Let it Shine!

• The sun provides light to our world.
• The sun was radiating light long before we came into this physical body, and will be radiating light long after we have left this physical body.
• The sun is always there. Whether we think about it or notice it….or not.
• We know that the sun gives out its light in even doses, all the time. The only thing that changes is us – and our relationship to the sun and its light.
• Even in times of darkness, when our portion of the world is pointed away from the sun, the sun is still radiating light.
• Each morning, we can count on the sun to again be there to pour out its light to us.
• The sun does not shine more light on you because of your good accomplishments than it does on anyone else. The sun does not give less light to those who are “sinful” than to those who work to increase Love. The gift of the sun‘s light is equally given.
• The light of the sun makes all of the other components of life possible – such as warmth, nourishment, comfort, and growth.
• When I redirect the sun‘s light to another, it can warm them, heal them, and illuminate their path.
• The sun does not make decisions about who to shine light on, and who to leave in the dark. It is up to us to decide how much light we want – and when we want it.
• We will receive varying amounts of the gifts of light – not because of the sun‘s decisions, but because of ours.
• The sun does not respond to prayer, begging, sacrifices, or supplication. It is giving all the light it can give, all the time. It doesn’t have more to give to anyone, under any circumstances – for it is giving everything it has, all of the time.
• The sun‘s light shines in times of triumph and tragedy.
• Nothing happens in our world that is outside the influence and power of the sun.
• The sun provides the opportunity for life in all its forms and no form on Earth survives and thrives without it.

• Read this through again, only this time substitute the word “God” (or whatever name or designation you assign to the Universal power that is greater than yourself) in place of the phrase “The sun“, and substitute the word “love” in place of the word “light“.
