We have all come to earth with a divine purpose. I truly feel that we are all of great value when we honor divine ourselves.
- This is a commandment – “let your light shine.” Isn’t it a commandment when Jesus asks us to do something it is a commandment? I think He doesn’t need to say “Thou Shall…” to make it into a commandment.
- Holding yourself back is not humility, it is fearful & prideful. When you are worried about what others may think of you, you are thinking only of yourself! Self sabotage can come in many forms. It can be excuses or subconsciously holding back from success. We have the responsibility to identify and rectify these self-imposed limiting beliefs. It can be done.
- Humbly follow this commandment, because it’s not really about you! It is about connecting to God’s light and shining that light on others through your works/actions and reminding others of their TRUE light source. We are all Children of God. That means we are loved, valuable to God and that we matter.
- Trust that as you honor your ‘life calling’, all the help, strength and other needful things will come to you in their due time. That is FAITH & courage. Address each of your concerns head on. Don’t let it fly around in your head anymore. Capture each of them on paper and resolve them one at a time. Our actions SHOWs us where our real faith is.
- Go ahead, allow your influence to reach all the corners of the earth. Whatever it is that is nagging you to do that you know you should but…(excuses, blame, blame, excuses, blah, blah, blah…) do it! And do it BIG. You can be a great steward of what God has given you. We can willingly ‘magnify our callings.’

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles”
- Remember we are training to be like God. He is love, light and all things good. God is helping us create by allowing us to tap into His power of creation. We are powerful to create our life. Our responsibility is to choose what kind of ‘work’ we want to do. Go on. Be imaginative and design how you would like to serve God. He will honor you and help you do that.
Lately, I’ve been able to more fully let my light shine and I feel that heaven is pleased with me. I’ve been even more happy with me too. How about you? Ready to let your light shine??
