The other day while driving, I headed down a hill and directly into the light of the sun. It was so bright and so direct that for a few seconds I could not see anything else except the light. It glowed yellow and swallowed up everything else in my vision so that I could only view the brightness.
This is no good for driving, of course, but it is the truth as I understand it of Divine Love. This Love, Agape, is a light. When we truly look at it, receive it, and our connected to it, there is nothing else. These momets of total awareness of the Divine Love Light may be few, but they are powerful, and they teach us that God, or Divine Love, is not an extra component to our life or in this world, not a small piece of things, but the total view, the complete experience. In truth, there is nothing but God's Light and Love. What a joy that occasionally we may become blinded by it, so that all the petty concerns, the silly details, the doubts and the fears, are blocked out entirely.
May the bright light of Love shine for you today. In all kinds of weather, rain and cloud and thunder, may you find you can turn your face to the Sun of God and be encompassed by the healing power of goodness. I see that for you today, and for me, we will be bathed in the radiant warmth of Agape.
