Love and light
Both light and love give warmth and produce healing and growth. Light shines all around, without discriminating or requiring that certain conditions be met. Likewise, if we love we should do so without discrimination.
God is love. If we know God and walk in God's light, we love one another. To have a clearer picture of love is helpful. We need God's light and God's love to shine through us. Learning to love has taken time, but it has been a great joy to realize that we can be an agent of healing, growth, and light in our relationships with other people. So can we all, if we allow God to teach us.
1 John 4:7-12
Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. God's love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.
1 John 1 : 5
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
