"God is the Light in which I see."

I got a phone call from someone saying she had heard about my “situation” and wanted to commiserate. I found out that meant she wanted to tell me all about her physical maladies and have me tell her about mine. That is not what I choose to do! Seeing everything in Light, in God, is happiness and peace. Reflecting that Light to others allows us to share this harmony. When viewing others as the image and likeness of God, this light is easily seen as the essence of everyone. A few simple words, expressing what we are seeing, brings joy to those we come into contact with every day. A compliment shared with someone in the market or library may be just the encouragement they need at that moment. Shining the light of Oneness from within brings with it big blessing! I make the choice in whether I want to see darkness or light.  Today I will be feeling the joy which comes from seeing everything through Light, and giving heart-felt expression to that joy, blessing the world.

Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Spiritual vision is not subordinate to geometric altitudes. Whatever is governed by God, is never for an instant deprived of the light and might of intelligence and Life."
