Statement on the Light of Life as Spirit (05/03/'24)

Statement on the Light of Life as Spirit In the grand tapestry of existence, where celestial bodies like stars, the moon, and the sun light up our skies, there exists a more profound, enduring luminance that outshines these temporal glows—the light of life, the spirit within us. This inner light, inherent to each of us, is not contingent on external sources. It is a perpetual beacon, illuminating our paths and defining our essence. As we navigate through life's uncertainties and the inevitable dimming of external lights, it is this internal radiance that remains steadfast. It is more than a mere metaphor for resilience; it is the very core of our spirit, fueling our journey through both trials and triumphs. This light is not bound by the limits of time or space—it is the unceasing glow of spirit, life itself. Let us recognize and celebrate this divine spark within each of us. May we nurture it and let it guide us, for it is the truest light we carry—the ultimate source of strength, hope, and guidance. Embrace this light, for it is not just a part of who we are; it defines us, leading us through the darkness into the dawn of new beginnings. Pastor Steven G. Lee (May 3, 2024)
