"The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world."-John 1:9
Look inside yourself and examine your true nature with an open mind. Forget what you've been told, what you're supposed to believe or to reject. You were created with a piece of God within you, a spark of light from God.
This light was ignited long before you were born and will stay with you throughout your life and your afterlife - eternally. It has no beginning, no end, just like your spirit, this part of you that enables you to feel close to your Creator. Your soul is also eternal, and it's the total sum of you with all your experiences and the lessons you've learnt from them. Divine light infuses your body with life, and you are a spiritual being...
There is a divine light that shines within you. Think about it, picture it in your mind, and allow it to become bigger and bigger. It might be the size of a pinhead to begin with or even smaller, a tiny particle. But as you allow it to grow, it will turn into a golf ball, a tennis ball, a football. It will take over your brain, your body, your whole being! You are made of light and you are meant to shine. Life itself is light and cannot exist without light. Light is pure love, pure positive energy that radiates everywhere, you're pulsing with it and illuminating everything around you with your smile, your appreciation and your sense of humour! You brighten other people's day by your sheer presence!
When you go into a room, there is no dark switch. Darkness doesn't exist - it is a vacuum, an illusion. Darkness is only the absence of light, just like fear is the absence of love. Evil is the absence of the love of God. But darkness doesn't have the power to extinguish light. The wind might blow the candle out because it pushes air onto the flame - but darkness can't do that. Darkness is static and only exists because there is also brightness as a contrast. Without darkness, we wouldn't know light. And shadows are only there because something is obscuring the light. And they only appear to dance because something else is moving against the rays of the sun.
The slice of cake is the same as the cake. You are a slice of the Divine and you are no different from it. A sample of your blood is no different from the blood that is in your body. So how can you believe that you're indeed a part of God, a child of God, and yet you won't allow yourself to be like the one who created you? Even though they have different features and individual characteristics, your children are the same as you are, they can do the same. Just because you're part of something bigger than yourself doesn't mean you're inferior to it. The slice of cake is just as delicious as the cake itself.
Be true to yourself and live a life of love - shine your light on everything, with kindness, understanding, compassion. Always put yourself in other people's shoes. Feel what they are feeling - experience the world form their point of view and you will easily forgive them for not being up to your expectations. And forgive yourself too for not being up to your expectations of yourself...
With all my love,
Bella
