Absolutely no flaming! These daily threads are intended to be devotional in nature. If a particular day's offering says nothing to you, please just go on and wait for the next day. Consider these threads a DMZ of sorts, a place where a perpetual truce is in effect and a place where all other arguments and disagreements from other times and places are left behind.
I can attest from personal experience that reading from Chambers daily will almost certainly change - not one's faith - but one's perspective of his/her own faith, and open up new vistas in your spiritual life. If - when - this happens to a reader of these threads, and they choose to share what has happened within them - we are treading on hallowed ground. Be respectful.

Good morning bump!
Jesus the Light
In Him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. John 1, 4-5 NRSV
Lord, you are indeed
the fount of all holiness,
a fountain of light
tried by the hand of darkness
and found unconquerable.
The midnight could not quench the light
even when locked into the earth,
but with the indescribable fire of love,
you burst forth,
to set your light as a beacon to all men.
O unrepressible Light,
O annealing power of God
that heals our imperfections,
make me a mirror,
grinding away all my imperfections
until I reflect your light to all those around me.
Like I've been saying.. (When you are Born Again)
When you look into a mirror(to shave or something) to see the Glory/creation of God, your body. You're spirit(indwelt by the Spirit) is looking back at you.. Observing a timeless dance.. The transformation of the earthy to the heavenly..
Two images but which one is real?.. This; Not noticed except without the veil.. An unveiled face is mandatory to seeing the image in the mirror clearly.. or to notice the spirit/Spirit peering back'acha.. What is the veil?..
Judgeing by my own experience there can be many veils.. that appear as one.. As each veil is/was removed, what I saw in the mirror became clearer.. and the reality of my body and my spirit viewing each other was indeed a "vision"...
There appears to be more going on when you brush your bodys teeth.. fancy that..
