Glow Up | The Introduction

The Introduction Hi, love!  I'm Light.  Welcome to Light Writes!  A special, special welcome to the  “Glow Up”  series. “ Glow Up ”, a divinely-inspired series of letters by Light Writes, is my way of openly expressing my experiences of becoming a ๐•“๐• ๐•๐••๐•–๐•ฃ, ๐•“๐•ฃ๐•š๐•˜๐•™๐•ฅ๐•–๐•ฃ, and more ๐•“๐• ๐•Ÿ๐•’ ๐•—๐•š๐••๐•– version of myself.  In it, I  shine light on how I have  matured and transitioned in my intrapersonal, interpersonal, and spiritual relationships.  Follow my pen as I explore the topics of self-love, humility, hobbies, boundaries, confidence, content creation, conquering fears, expansion in ministry, friendships, romance, and more.  I am absolutely pumped to be vulnerable, and share my heart-felt experiential wisdom with you. Stay safe. P.S.  (All credit goes to God for this series and its name, the content, my ability to write . . . Goosebumps.  Thank You, Papa.) Want more Light? Follow me!

'An Apology' (A Poem)

To Worthy, Blameless, Pure, Holy, Hated by a misunderstanding humanity Whom You love; For all the times I blamed You Due to my unbelief in Your purity, For all the times I expressed anger at You For abandoning me; Though You never will, For thrashing against Your outstretched arm, Blind to the significance Of the wait in Your eyes; The eyes of the good One Who withholds no good thing, For expressing disappointment in You, Saying, “Why aren't You here?” Though You are, And will always be, For accusing You of being d  i  s  t  a  n  t, Though You await to be sought, Arms open eternally, For imagining You in hatred's cloak On my own accord, Then accusing You of crimes You are unable to commit, Responding to vain imaginations as though You could ever be anyone but Yourself,   Pure in Spirit, For deeming You unholy When I misperceive Your rebuke As hatred rather than counsel, For having a short fuse toward You, Though You are Healer, Giving You stripes...

I know you may not like this initially if you have a fear of dependency on others, but I love you too much not to share this post with you. All that I share here is based on my personal experiences with others and God.  Allow me to begin: A significant portion of your healing can only be experienced through openness to others. Your openness will allow healing that is otherwise unattainable. Thus, your level of openness is a determinant of how far you go in healing. During the process of healing, God sends those whom He knows have the grace to handle you, your flaws and all. (If they're not already in your life, rest assured that they'll be here soon.) If you need the faithful or the gracious, the loving and affectionate, the peaceful or . . . and the list goes on, God sends them to you, ...

“Light, Darkness, and Enlightenment” | Light and Darkness (III)

“For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” —2 Corinthians 4:6 The “Light and Darkness” series seeks to impart revelation or a deeper understanding of the nature of the God of Israel, Light, with relation to what we perceive as “reality”.  In this, Part III of the series on light and darkness are simple put-to-pen observations on the two entities’ natural behaviours.  Their features, characteristics and properties are also outlined in ways more straightforward than parabolic.  My Star, as you read, be enlightened. ๐•Ž๐•™๐•’๐•ฅ ๐•š๐•ค ๐”ป๐•’๐•ฃ๐•œ๐•Ÿ๐•–๐•ค๐•ค? Darkness is the absence of light.  It does not exist on its own.  It conceals, and it covers.  It overshadows and overwhelms.  It makes things abstract.  It blinds.  It is deceptive.  It is ominous.  It lies to you by making you think there is nothing there, or that somethi...
