Grow towards the light
Come to the light; don’t hide in the shadows.
Yes, the light will show up your blemishes, but you will also see clearly, and be less likely to stumble.
You will see others and allow them to see you, so that you can truly recognise each other and learn from each other.
Bask in the light, exulting in the beauty and wonder that it shows you,
Rejoicing in what is, and in what can become.
Let go of fear and hatred in the light of truth.
Allow goodness to show you the way, even though it takes you far from where you started.
Don’t retreat back into the dark where you feel safe.
Reach out towards the light.
You can absorb more of it than you think.
It will transform you.
Like a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis, your hard exterior needs to crack open.
Yes, this protected you while you needed it, and you might fear it must hurt when it splits and you emerge,
But you will never fly unless you do.
The light is God’s gift to you.
It is filled with his love.
He will show you what to do.
