“If you are generous with the hungry and start giving yourselves to the down-and-out, your lives will begin to glow in the darkness, your shadowed lives will be bathed in sunlight.” (Isaiah 58: 10, the Message Bible)

Generosity of spirit and action gives a powerful energy to our lives. As we open our eyes to the needs of others, looking beyond self with an expanding vision outside of what is comfortable and familiar to us, our lives take on meaning and glow with light.

We each have so much to give out of our natural hearts of love, that spirit within us that God has generously given to us. We have the richness of God’s own qualities to share with others, humbly, and to receive what naturally comes of gracious giving.

We may feel led to literally give to the hungry and those who are going through hard times. This may mean offering provisions or simply giving another a sincere moment of our time and care. We find light as we see light in others—as we see the dignity and goodness of all, as we know the worthiness of one another.

We can bask in the sunlight of taking another into our prayers, consciously, seeing them as God sees them and knowing that He is caring for all, loving each with the very love that He is also loving us.

Taking off the limiting shroud of ego and fear and putting on this mantle of light, we find true joy in being an active participant in and witness to God’s grace in every place.
