The Veil Has Been Lifted

I am reading a book right now entitled The Ladies Confession by George McDonald.  In it, there is an old minister who has this vision. In this vision, he is filled with the love of God, and all of a sudden he sees this great and awesome light beginning to shine all around him. After a moment, he notices that the lite was coming from him. The light got brighter and brighter. He began to see faces of those he loves and all he has ever loved. The light illuminated their faces to this beautiful radiant glow. Then the light began to grow brighter and it spread farther out, beyond all the faces he seen. This is a a beautiful picture and the reality of the love of God.

When the true love of God fills a man, or women, it has no place to go but out. God,s love is not something you can bottle up and keep contained. When the love of God shines out it will cause others to shine as well. The bible says that when “the True Light” is present, it will manifest everything that is in the darkness. When those who have that light shown on them will in return begin to shine with the love of God, and the light will be brighter and extend further. It is kind of like the “butterfly Affect” which says that the simple flapping of a butterfly’s wings can completely change the weather patterns on the other side of the planet. The love of God can change the world, and it starts with the simple flapping of your wings.

A simple act of kindness can show the love of Christ to someone, and forever change that person. Let us put our minds and self-centered ways aside, and let the love of God illuminate all that is around us. If you really want to change this world, it is not going to happen by fighting evolutionist and trying to stop gay rights legislation. It can only happen when Gods kingdom, his church, His city, is shinning bright, so let it shine.

As God has loved us, so let us love one another.
