Basking in the Light
A friend of mine titled this photograph for me. It warms my
soul that it is so appropriately named, “Basking in the Light”. Vereen said
that when she looked at this photo, “The first thing I saw was a child touched
by the Light of Christ. Beautiful.” While I completely agree, this set me to
thinking.
Children
I believe that we all see little children as special. We
notice their sparkle and the goodness that they add to this world. We sense the
wonder of creation and continuation. It is marvelous to behold.
We need to hold onto these sentiments as we are introduced
to one another and interact with one another. Why? Well, it is because we are
all still little children. We are children of God.
Light of Christ
Every human being born into this world is endowed with the Light of Christ. Every single one. He
said, “I am the true light that lighteth every man that cometh into
the world” (Doctrine and Covenants 93:2).
God Loves Us All
Jesus loves all of us with a love that is endless and
complete. God makes His sun to shine on all of us and his rain to fall on all
of us, because it is His good will to bless us and help us to find joy. (See
Matthew 5:45)
Look for the Good
How quickly do we look for the darkness in one another, when
we should be noticing the light? How often do we condemn the imperfections in
ourselves, when it would serve us better to be thankful for our gifts and
develop them?
Bask in the Light
I am pleased with the composition of this photograph. The
child is truly basking in the light. What a great example for all of us. There
is light everywhere around us, and there is light within us. Let us find
pleasure and joy in our work, in our days, in our families, in our friends and
associations; and let us bask in the Light.
