Part Five: Living as Reflectors
(five of fifth part series on - The Light: A Divine Devotion on the Truth of Being)
So what do we do with all of this? How do we live in the light of the light?
We Stay Connected
The moon does not decide one day to generate its own light. It faces the sun. It stays in position. It receives.
To be a reflector, you must first connect to the source. You cannot be a reflector if you are unconnected to the Source. Belief, faith and prayer are means of connection. Scripture and Worship are also ways to connect. Communing with other reflectors is also a means of connection. These are not religious duties; they are survival. They are how you keep your face turned toward the light.
We Accept Our Dependence
God did not create you to be the source. The moment you try to generate your own light, you produce only shadows. You become like a star that has burned out, a cold cinder pretending to be a sun.
There is freedom in accepting that you are a reflector. The pressure is off. You do not have to create the light; you only have to receive it and pass it on. You do not have to be brilliant; you only have to be faithful.
We Reject Hatred
Hatred is the disconnection. Hatred is the training ground for the great gulf. Every time hatred rises in your heart, you must recognise it for what it is: the enemy of your soul, the thief of your identity, the poison of your nourishment, the blindness of your direction.
You cannot fight hatred with hatred. That is like fighting darkness with darkness. You fight hatred by turning toward the light. You confess it, name it, and ask the Revealer to show you the face of the One who absorbed all hatred on the cross and responded with forgiveness.
We Become Rainbows
Go and be what the sky already declares. Be a living covenant. Be a reflector that breaks the pure light of God into all the colours of His character: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
Let your life be so beautiful, so colourful, so full of refracted glory, that people look at you and do not stop at you. Let them look at you and ask, "Where does that light come from?" And then, with joy, with gratitude, with the humility of a moon that knows it has no light of its own, point them to the Son.
A Prayer for Light
Illuminator, Source of all that is, You who spoke and light leapt to obey, shine upon us. We are dark without You, cold without You, lost without You.
Revealer, Jesus Christ, You who made the invisible visible, show us the Father. Open our eyes to see the glory that has always been there, hidden in plain sight, waiting for our gaze.
Spirit of the Living God, make us faithful reflectors. Bend us, break us if You must, but let Your light pass through us. Let the colours of Your character reflect in our lives. Let those who walk in darkness see, in us, a reason to hope.
And when the great gulf of hatred threatens to swallow us, when the disconnection calls to us, when the easy darkness tempts us, hold us fast. Keep our faces turned toward the Son. Keep us in the light.
You have appointed us to hold and shine the light. Remind us in times of darkness that light created us, and tasked us to shine the light in a dark world
Amen.
Going Forth
I have given you much by bringing you beyond the surface to a deeper depth. You should now be aware of the difference between the Illuminator, the Revealer, and the Reflector. I have taken you beyond just knowing there is light to teaching you the properties of light: identity, nourishment, and direction. You have been warned and shown the terror of disconnection, the gulf of hatred, the deception that would steal the rainbow from your soul.
Now you must choose.
Every day is a choice between light and dark, between connection and separation, between being a reflector and being a rock. The choice is yours. The light is on offer. The Source waits.
Do not let go of the promise. Do not let the world redefine the symbols of your faith. Do not let hatred dig its gulf in your soul.
Turn your face toward the light.
And shine.
