Shine In The Light Of Love

. . . to help you to determine what is best,
so that in the day of Christ you may be pure and blameless . . .
(Philippians 1:10, NRS)

Good Morning,

Daylight savings time begins early this year. Newscasters are reminding us to spring forward one hour on Sunday. Time, throughout the ages, has been measured by the light of the sun. Historically, humanity has used the light of the sun to measure and evaluate a variety of things. In the ancient days, the light of the sun was used to determine the quality of pottery. A wise purchaser of the pottery held the vessel into the light of the sun to determine if there were any cracks, including glued cracks. Cracks decreased the value of fine pottery.

Likewise, the abiding Light of love reveals authenticity. The Apostle Paul described this process in Philippians 1:10:

To help you to determine what is best: Self-evaluation is not always easy. Even so, we must determine if our thoughts, words, and action are derived by authentic love. In other words, we must evaluate if God is present in our thinking, speaking, and behavior. The Light of love reveals the value within our thoughts, words, and actions.


Take time to evaluate your thoughts, words, and actions through the Light of love. Prioritize your response in life through the Light of love.

So that in the day of Christ you may be pure and blameless: Sincerity is the antithesis of hypocrisy, which is revealed by the abiding love of God. Love produces integrity with the desire to live in purity.
Shine in the Light of love.
1. Live in and through the Light of love.
2. Adjust your thoughts and words through the Light of love.
3. Take action through the Light of love.
4. Allow the abiding Light of love to purify you in order to be pure and blameless.

Learning with you to shine in the Light of Love.
