THE SHINING LIGHT
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is is in heaven (Matthew 5:16).
The state of your soul is always expressed in your outer conditions and in the intangible influence that you radiate at large. There is a cosmic law that nothing can permanently deny its own nature. Emerson said: "What you are shouts so loudly that I cannot hear what you say." The soul that is built upon prayer cannot be hidden, it shines out brightly through the life that it lives. It speaks for itself, but in utter silence, and does much of its best work unconsciously. Its mere presence heals and blesses all around it.
