Shine - Today's Daily Word

I shine with an awareness of Spirit.

Looking in a mirror or walking past a storefront window, I may notice that my physical appearance is offering me clues to what I'm thinking and, therefore, feeling.

If I am in a slump emotionally, I may see that reflected in my posture and remind myself that my body holds within it the spirit of God. Shining with the awareness of a spiritual being, I just naturally sit straighter, stand taller, and walk more confidently.

Most days, I see people I know personally, those I recognize only as familiar, and those I have never met before. We all, however, share a sacred kinship. Letting our own inner spiritual light shine energizes and enhances us. It radiates out to remind others to let their inner light shine brightly.

"In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven."--Matthew 5:16
