Alight you shine
With a fire so bright
That all can feel it
Even had they no sight.
This is what happens
When God’s love you know.
And through your actions
His Light you do show.
Hide not this Light,
But let it shine
And all will then sense
That this Light is Divine.
All have this Light,
But in some it is dim.
They first need to discover
That Light there within.
It burns there just waiting
To be thus discovered.
For a Light such as this
Shall not remain covered.
What to do if your light
Feels like only an ember?
Simply love all you can
And then you’ll remember
That this Light’s who you are.
It has always been you.
When love you do show
You’ll discover it’s true.
Love all who you see.
Hold them all in your heart
Then this ember inside
Will awake with a start.
Any longing you had
Will no longer remain.
When with love you do act
You do fan your own flame.
An old church Sunday School song comes to mind this morning, "This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine…Hide it under a bushel, NO, I'm going to let it shine…" (I remember yelling as loudly as I could, "NO!") But it took many years for me to see this light as Divine Love. We are a spark of the Divine, and we are Love.
Thank you, Sanaya, for this lovely verse and reminder this morning.
On to letting our Love shine today and always…
What a beautiful poem and I love the title, "Fan the flames".
"Hide not this light but let it shine". Focus on love and your heart will awaken….
Yes, I do feel I always had that flicker. Not sure how I did not Fan that Flame. I am on the journey now to learn how to let that light shine. I am thinking I will just lead with and see where it takes me. If I start to analyze I do not see how I can do this.
Thanks for sharing…….peace Joanie
