Twilight

     Twilight: it means to be in a place of transition, it also means to be in a place where things are not clearly defined. The prefix Twi means two. Twilight: between two lights. In a manner of thinking, we all are in twilight.  This earthly realm is one light and, for some of us, we have a clear idea of where we are. At other times, we have no defined idea of where we are. This is our twilight.  We are between the here and the now waiting for the other light to dawn upon us.

        This twilight, this in between time, revolves around two elements, our words and our thoughts. They are the creative substance that molds and shapes the way we live in this light. Our words and thoughts here in this light of transition are the substance that molds and shapes our ultimate destination. The thoughts we think, the thoughts we put into action, and those that we secret away in the depths of our hearts with the words we speak aloud, the words that are written and shared, and words that are spoken alone in solitude, these are the fundamental elements that  make us who we are.  We each become the person we are (free will), and determine the direction we take. The things we accomplish in this light mold and shape us into something that is either greater than ourselves and something that glorifies God or something that is ignoble and brings dishonor to God.  


     Our thoughts and words serve to transition us from this light into the next. Whatever we harbor in our innermost chambers of our hearts, eventually, will reveal itself in the outer areas of our life through our actions, which are a direct result of our thoughts and words. Whatever we may think is hidden will eventually be brought into light.  As spiritual beings created in the image of God (Gen. 1:26), it is in our spiritual DNA that we hold the power to frame our world by our thoughts and words.  What we think and speak are divine tools given by the Creator and are a vastly powerful tool. It is the will of the Father that we use these tools to edify one another, to build up, not to tear down, and to bring glory to the Father.  We must be ever diligent in our thoughts and words. Our journey from our thoughts and words is the transition into the next light.
