Letting Your God Glow Show
Have you ever met someone who just *glows*? You can't quite put your finger on it —they walk into the room and suddenly the plants perk up, the air shifts, and even the coffee seems to taste better. You think, “What skin care are they using?” But what you're really seeing isn't Revlon… it's **revelation** — the light of Spirit shining through.
That inner light, that “God Glow,” isn't a special effect for a chosen few; it's the natural radiance of the Christ within us all. And the best part? You don't have to chase it, fake it,or earn it. You were *born glowing*. The real spiritual work is simply learning not to dim it.
In Unity, our Five Principles give us a kind of “spiritual skin-care routine” for the soul —daily practices to polish, renew, and reveal that divine light within.
**1. One Presence and One Power.**
When we remember that there's only *One* — one Source, one Good, one Love — we stop giving power to the shadows. Worry, fear, and frustration may knock on the door, but we don't have to invite them in for coffee. The first principle reminds us: no matter what's happening, God is still the light — even when the bulb flickers.
**2. Our Essence Is of God.**
That means your glow is built-in. You are inherently divine — not because you've
achieved enlightenment, but because you were *born of it*. Just as the sunbeam
doesn't struggle to shine, you don't have to prove your worthiness. You are an
expression of the same creative brilliance that spun galaxies into being. (And that's better than any “golden-hour” filter on Instagram.)
**3. We Are Co-Creators with God.**
Here's where things get really luminous. When we hold thoughts of love, faith, and possibility, we don't just feel better — we *create* better. Every thought is like flipping a light switch in consciousness. So if your inner room feels dark, maybe it's just time to find a brighter thought.
**4. Through Prayer and Meditation, We Align with the Divine.**
Think of prayer and meditation as your daily “charging station.” Just like your phone glows brighter when it's fully charged, your soul radiates when you reconnect with the Source. And yes, sometimes that means turning on “Airplane Mode” — unplugging from the noise, breathing deeply, and remembering who you really are.
**5. We Live the Truth We Know.**
This is where the glow gets contagious. It's one thing to feel the light during meditation, but another to *be* the light when the person ahead of you in traffic forgets their turn signal. (I'm speaking from experience.) Every time we choose kindness over complaint, forgiveness over frustration, and gratitude over grumbling, we amplify the light for everyone around us.
Each principle is a pathway to uncovering what was never lost — the glory of God already alive in you. You don't have to manufacture the shine; you just have to let it out.
So this week, my friends, try this: when you look in the mirror, instead of critiquing the hair, the wrinkles, or the coffee stain on your shirt, pause and say, **“Behold, the glory of God is right here.”**
Then smile — not because you're perfect, but because you're *radiant*. And remember, the world doesn't need you to sparkle like anyone else. It just needs you to **glow the truth you know.**
See you Sunday, beloveds — bring your light… and maybe your sunglasses.
Blessings, Rev. Bobby
