All of the darkness in the universe cannot put out the light of one tiny candle! Think about that! Or, think about this: A room can be dark for ten thousand years – or ten million – and if you open the door and let in the light, the darkness disappears. Where does it go? It doesn’t go anywhere. Darkness cannot exist in the presence of light. Darkness has no power. The Power is with the light. The Power IS the Light! Love IS Light!
What is the darkness in your life? Would you like to be free of it? Then let in the light. “But how do I do that?,” you may ask. There are many ways. Meditation; Contemplation; Affirmative Prayer; Journaling are a few. If, perhaps, meditation is foreign to you, just take five minutes a day and sit in silence. Focus on your breath, or on soothing music, or on a candle, or use a mantra. Just say, “I Am, I Am, I Am,” over and over again. When your mind wanders, and it will, just notice that and gently bring it back . If five minutes is too long for you, then begin with two minutes and work up. If none of that works for you, get out in nature. Walk or sit quietly in the forest, or by the ocean, or any place that stills your Soul.
Go for a walk by the sea and have a conversation with God. Invite Her/Him/It into your life. And then just listen. When I say “God,” I’m not talking about that Judeo-Christian god, who is condemning, angry, weak and judgmental. I’m talking about the Real God Who IS EVERYTHING, and therefore is you too. The One Who loves you and forgives you forever and always and is so far beyond our understanding that we can’t possibly conceive of It’s Magnificence or of It’s Love – for EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY, because IT IS EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY! It created everything and everybody, including you, out of Itself. No matter who you are, or what you’ve done, the God I’m talking about has forgiven you and will ALWAYS forgive you, no matter what! You don’t need “saving,” you are already safe.
“You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free!” That’s the key! Know the Truth. Let in the Light. Dispel the darkness. Spread your wings, and FLY! Be FREE, as you were meant to be.
Love and Light . . . . .
