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).

“For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.”

כִּי שִׂמַּחְתַּנִי יְהוָה בְּפָעֳלֶךָ בְּמַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ אֲרַנֵּן
