“The world’s conditions, whether we call them good or bad, are always changing. The truth of God as absolute goodness and perfect love is changeless. And that divine goodness and love is within each of us. Our call is to share our divine qualities as only we can, to shine our light into the darkness.
No matter what may divide us, one thing unites everyone and it’s bigger than everything else: We are spiritual beings, ‘individuations of the Divine.’ It is this knowledge that will help us keep our focus where it should be: not on the darkness that surrounds us, but on the light that is within us.
The more we are attuned to our inner light, the more comfortable we’ll be shining it brightly by being authentic, compassionate, and understanding. The better we’ll be able to appreciate how others around us are shining their lights as only they can. We will discover anew what binds and connects us, so the darkness of division and disagreement will not engulf us.
I invite you to lean into this truth. Accept the darkness will be with us for a while, but shine brightly and keep turning toward the light you find in others.”
