"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us" (Henry David Thoreau)
Suppose I came along and handed you a clear glass vase and told you it was filled with an
actual part of God. Inside this vase you'd see the most beautiful and unique color
of light brought straight from the realm of Heaven.
As this special light was put into the vase, the angels blessed it and carefully brought it to earth...and gave it to you! Now you've got this vase in your keeping.
What would you do with it? This vase would be priceless....so valuable you would never let it out of your sight or awareness. You would cherish this vase of God and probably let only certain people near it. You would protect it from harm and make sure it didn't break. It would be the most important item to you because it represented an actual part of the Light of God...and you owned it!
Well, that is exactly what you are....A vessel of actual God light. How do we usually treat our part of God?
Sometimes we forget we are made of God, and we are less careful with ourselves than we are with our valuables.
"You" are precious and priceless. God needs your light to shine so brightly. "You" are more important to Him than you can even begin to imagine.
AL'S STORY (by: Albert Ouellette)
Long ago and far away (well, maybe not that long ago), a Being of Light and Love descended to earth and found a home with a warm and caring family. Although he possessed the wisdom of the universe inherent in all God's creations, being in this new "body-form" required exploration and adaptation. A world of magnificence and experiences waiting to be touched by this Being of Light, but no great hurry! After all, time is fairly meaningless to Light.
However, in this physical existence, time was a powerful force and slowly the Light began to flicker. Interaction with the other beings on earth became more difficult because many of them could no longer see beyond the physical. Fear of the unknown translated into words and actions that stung more than the harshest winter winds and the Light began to fade.
Eventually, the wounds from the hurtful words and actions healed, but the scars nearly covered the Light entirely. His flesh became taut, blocking off the flow of the life force, and the Being fell prey to a myriad of injuries and diseases. Successes were constantly marred with devastation, transforming existence into a meaningless blur.
One day, while trudging down a rocky path, the winds of fate shifted and brought a spark from a Kindred Spirit. The hidden Light began to glow once again, guiding the way to an unseen path which led to a wondrous place and healing. There the Being of Light found a gathering of other kindred spirits....Guardians of the Light.
Through the warmth of their love, wisdom, and guidance the power of the Light within the lost spirit was rekindled.
The Being of Light has only one wish now. That all who share this reality recognize their Light and the Light in others."
God created Angels to help you never let the Light go out. And if your Light gets dim,
Angels can be a guiding light for you. Angels can give sight to faith by helping you
receive a clear knowing that the highest good is always available to you. You will
know that you are Never Alone and that you are constantly held in Divine Love and Light
THE ANGELS ARE WITH YOU TO HELP THE LIGHT SHINE SO BRIGHTLY
