Allow the light of God’s love to shine in you brightly. As Yeshua said, “Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, such is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him” (John 14:21). Note that the Greek word for “manifest” means to “shine inside” (i.e., ἐμφανίζω, from ἐν, “in” and φαίνω, “shine”), indicating that the revelation would be inward light of the Divine Presence. The Hebrew word for “praise” (i.e., tehillah: תְּהִלָּה) comes from a verb that means “to shine” (i.e., halal: הָלַל), from which we derive the word “halo.” Similarly, the word “aura” comes from the Hebrew word “ohr” (אוֹר), meaning “light.” Let your inner light shine before others so that they may see your good works and give honor to your Father who is in heaven” (Matt. 5:16).

“Let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.” – Psalm 96:12-13

As it is written, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your heart…” (Heb. 3:15). Thank God for the gracious miracle of teshuvah (turning back to God), since without that gift, there would be no abiding hope…

“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”

כָּלָה שְׁאֵרִי וּלְבָבִי צוּר־לְבָבִי
וְחֶלְקִי אֱלהִים לְעוֹלָם
