What is my job in life?

“My job is to bring light into people’s lives.”

The man who just installed the skylight in my kitchen said that as he was leaving. I laughed and replied “What a wonderful job to have!”

Later, while eating my lunch and loving all the extra brightness in the room, it suddenly hit me. That’s my job too! If everyone we meet is a mirror of ourselves, then surely this chance encounter with a stranger has given me a clue as to why I am here. The never ending search for meaning in life has come to an end. One of those ah-ha moments that simply floors you.

My ‘job’ is to bring light into people’s lives. What is light? Love made visible. My artwork is my light and my love. What an awakening! What a gift this stranger has given me!

And now as I think about it further, perhaps this is everyone’s ‘job’ in life – we are all here to do the same thing – to bring light into being i.e. make manifest the light and love of God.  Many of us just don’t realise it.
