Advice for sharing your beliefs.

You should not proselytize every belief that you hold close, for that is often done in a spirit of convincing others of your correctness. But sharing where you are in your own journey is not a matter of changing others’ beliefs but rather providing additional context for their beliefs. The additional context that you provide is the same as your heightened awareness of what accompanies you on your own path. It gives your path more character, more presence, more impact. It is part of your own experience, and so the sharing of your beliefs becomes a part of another’s path. It is indeed sharing; it is never a debate. There is no winner or loser. There is no one whose ideas prevail. No thoughts are subjugated in the presence of others. The context is enriched, and it is in that loving enrichment that the growth continues.

You are God’s hands as all human beings are, but you also are part of God’s Light. As you pray for guidance, your light is joined with God’s Light, and together the paths that you experience and those that others come to know are given brilliance and clarity.
