When we’re present to life in love…we shine.

John 8:54
Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is worth nothing; but it is my Father who glorifies me…”

Life is all about relationship.
All of universe…all of the creation…is in relationship.
Science is proving this.
Love is at the core of it all.
There is a flow of this Love from God to Jesus and then from Jesus out to all…and therefore back to God.
Jesus is the fullness of this Love.
He gave us the perfect example of how to live.
Jesus emptied his own desires…and opened himself to God’s desires thereby allowing God’s Love to flow through him to others.
Jesus knew that any “glory” that came his way was due to God…not his ego.
The only way your true self can shine through…is if your ego gets out of the way.
That will require a contemplative practice of letting go.
The old adage is true: “Let go. Let God.”
