Spiritual Awakening: BOOM! BOOM!! On Come The Lights!
Today I was inspired by the scene in Gremlins where Gizmo is exposed to bright light and he reacts by saying bright light, bright light. This had we thinking about how many times people have been shone the light during the spiritual awakening process only to shield their eyes and close off the light and the message. How many times have you been shone the light and decided not to allow them to illuminate your life and then you look back in reflection and realize that the bright lights were being shone to you so you could be in the center of the attention to shine your light. Sometimes the message is so clear but we are blinded by the lights and all the noise that we do not heed the message. Many times people will make excuses or choose to turn off the light and as a result they create darkness in their lives and are left wondering why this darkness is occurring. To combat the darkness one must let the lights come on and embrace the messages that are being sent. In embracing the light and taking action one can brighten up their world and thus brighten the lives of others.
On most Friday Afternoons I am found at The Starbucks on University Drive North of Oakland Park Boulevard in Sunrise, FL turning on people’s heart lights by giving out FREE HUGS!!! I have found that by hanging this sign and interacting with the patrons that I am able to help people shift into a more positive frame of mind. It has become like a community outreach center where people come to get a hug and talk for a minute and as a result possibly find the answers that they are seeking. The power of turning on your light is amazing as it also gives people permission to turn on their light and before you know it the world becomes a brighter and better place. In turning on your light your light you may encounter those who want to keep you in darkness. Remember that if you are walking in The Light Of GOD no evil shall come upon you.
When you understand that the light inside of you is more powerful than you know you will begin to turn on your light more and more and GOD will protect you as you become enlightened in your faith walk. The walk is a daily practice and when you see the light you begin to experience the greatness that GOD has in store for you. So many times we succumb to the fear of what others may think and we don’t turn on our light thus missing great opportunities and the chance to shine bright for others to see. There are two people in this world to please GOD and yourself. When you turn on your light and honor GOD you do not have to worry what others say about you for you are protected and watched over.
