Be A Bright Spot

One of my challenges is my thinking. I’m typically binary, black or white. I don’t usually see the gray areas unless I’m travelling through them to one of the absolutes. With that in mind, it’s my experience you can either be a giver or a taker. You can either drain those around you or fill them up. You can either be a bright spot or a source or doom and despair. Which one are you?

When I think of my relationships, I typically work towards making others around me better. I typically want to help others get better, however that looks to them, as long as it’s ethical and legal, I usually don’t have a problem offering assistance.

My intentions are usually pure as it’s all about me being a bright spot, creating a positive impact on them and hopefully, they in turn will do the same for others. Some may call this creating “goodwill” but I prefer not to waste time with labels and move forth illuminating those around me and hopefully their reflections will enhance others.

Today, Tuesday, February 11, 2020, I am grateful that:

My light is bright enough to shine on others. He has brightened my life and hopefully I can be an example of what is possible when we live as He would have us live. When walking the path He has chosen for us, all things are possible.

Even with minimal resources, I know I have plenty. I have access to everything that’s needed for my journey as I’ve already created enough goodwill in helping others for more than three decades. I have enough. I simply need to ask and it will be brought forth abundantly.

I’ve begun to feel a bit more of a “connection” with Him. The last week or so has been challenging, yesterday in particular. I know He is here but the moments, sometimes days, when I’m unable to feel His presence, it’s truly disconcerting.

How do you brighten the lives of others?

How often do you think of them more than yourself?

What do you do to “reconnect” with your source of power(Him)?
