The Nature of Light

We' ll leave a light on for you

Tom Bodett





Light is a funny thing

It can illuminate

 or blind

It is all in how you use it.

Well meaning  people can be like that as well.

There are those people who race in to your life with a huge spotlight

 

(conveniently turned away from themselves)

and calling the light 'tough love" 

as they point out your every flaw

Oh dear...

that kind of " light" only leaves people

 blind and hurt and looking for cover.

But there are also  those who bring another light

 

A light of warmth and peace 

and hope that makes others want to grow

That's the good stuff!

So go!

Bring that  light to someone…

BE that light to someone!

be a kind light…

a soft light

…a light that brings hope, not pain.

Then stand with that person and watch the darkness disappear

for both of you.

And that's poetiquejustis

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
