Close your eyes. Think about your home on the darkest night with no moonlight. How do you see? Now imagine that in addition to the dark night the power is out, your cell phone is out of battery, and none of your flashlights are working. You have one candle. Would you let your light shine, or would you hide it under a cover as you wait for “the right time”?
Obviously, if you don’t want to trip and fall or have someone else in the house trip and fall, you are going to shine your light! You may even give your light away to someone else in the house that needs it more. You may have everyone gather in one room so that everyone in the house can be blessed by the light!
Common sense, right?
If it is such common sense, then why do people often shine a physical light for all to see in the darkness yet dim their inner light that can provide people with reignited passion, hope, belief, etc? Shouldn’t we be willing to share any light literal or symbolic that will help others?
The easy answer to that question is, “Yes.” I could prattle on about why I think people do this, and if I did, I might hit on some valid points. However, I am no expert when it comes to why people make the choices they do. So instead of surmising about things I cannot know for sure, I’m going to issue a challenge.
Are you ready for it?
This week, I challenge you to be a light to those around you by sharing kindness and showing love. Even if you only make a lasting difference to one person, you have shared the light!
