One often hears the phrase “You look radiant!” in the context of a new bride and groom, a man and woman expecting a baby, or upon holy baptism…. each circumstance having one thing in common….
Changed identity… a bride and groom become husband and wife, a man and woman become father and mother, a repentant soul is born anew in the Spirit . All are the result of God-ordained love given, received, and initiating a new identity. These are expressions of being The Light Of The World. Its Source is the One Who Said, “Let There Be Light!”, then created all the good and very good things that are capable of bearing HIs Light in the world. And He comes to us, incarnate in Christ, to renew and sustain His Light in each generation. #lamplighter #sharethespark #shine!
(I have been privileged to also witness the Light upon some released from their earth-bound identity for that of eternal joy and peace, the final God-ordained identity change!)
