True Enlightenment

UV 3722/10000 True Enlightenment They looked to Him and were radiant; Their faces will never blush in shame or confusion. Psalm 34 v 5 In world history, a few people are said to be enlightened who have gained understanding and wisdom. But true enlightenment comes not from the inner being but from the Eternal Being. It does not come from deep study, great experiences or penance. The light of the Lord flashes on us, enlightening our faces, enlightening our minds, enlightening our paths, enlightening our lives. When He enlightens us, we feel enlivened. When He enlightens us, we are enlarged. When HE enlightens us, our burdens are lightened. As we look to Him and focus on Him, our faces are ever radiant. We will not have mourning or sad faces. Even while we mourn we meditate on His word. His face shining on us is a sign and a source of His favour. When we have His favour, we enjoy the flavour of life in every season of our lives. When we have fervour for His name and His word, we enjoy His favour. We will not be put to shame or be confounded. We have clarity of vision or the purpose of our lives. We will be able to fulfill the mission impossible. The Lord looking upon us is a sign of His approval, that He is pleased with our faith and obedience. When our hearts are filled with the word, with songs of praise and thanksgiving, we please the Lord. He will lift His face upon us. He will shine on us like the noonday sun in all its brightness. His favour upon us will cause sorrow and sadness to disappear from our minds. He gives us His perfect peace. The peace of God surrounds us and guides us to victory. We might have many struggles in life but the peace of God that leads us to victory will fill us with His joy, His assurance. The Lord will bless us, keep us from evil and harm, sustain us and guard us. The charisma we are anointed or adorned with is not a physical charm but a spiritual anointing that seems to flow out of our flesh as it were. The enemy and his earthly or human agents might try to defeat us, put us to shame but the Lord will defend us. His banner of victory over us that He erects is one of love, eternal love in Christ, agape love, everlasting, unchanging and not diminishing.
