Let your Light Shine

Greetings Divas & Gents,

I pray that each of you have had a wonderful week. Yesterday morning I spoke on Salt and asked how seasoned are you. This morning this old church song can into my head called "This Little Light of Mine" so this morning topic is Light!


Matthew 5:14-16 (New International Version)
Light
14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

Just to break these verses down a little.

Have you ever traveled across a long bridge at night and look across the water and hundreds of miles away you can see a city lit up with lights, and its looks absolutely amazing! If you are like me I begin to wonder whats over there or I want to see what it looks like inside the city! No matter how far away its light can be seen for miles. Now think of this if that city lights were never own when you passed through at night would you even know it was there?

If we live for Christ, we automatically show others what Christ is like. We don't have to announce that we are Christians or brag about it, it will show in our presence, our speech, & our body language. Some of us hide our light by, being quite when we should speak, going along with the crowd, denying the light to be accepted by others, letting sin dim our light, not explaining our light to others, or ignoring the needs of others. Be a Beacon of the Truth! Don't shut your light off to the rest of the world! Let your light Shine!!! I love you all, God Bless!
