Shine Your Light!

Today, more than most days during the year, I am reminded that I am serving the LIGHT of the world. While everyone else is celebrating darkness, fear, horror, and gore in the name of a good time, I realize how much work needs to be done for the Kingdom of God.

Jesus told us that we are God's light. We can't hide our lights under bushels. We have to place them on a pedestal so everyone can see the great luminance of of our God. Everyone should see God's light shining from us every day at all times.

Too often, we do hide our lights under bushels. Many times we hide our lights in order to blend in with the world we are supposed to be leading to the light. We quench our own fires in order to be found more acceptable by people who are lost in darkness. We would rather not 'bother' or 'annoy' someone who is on their way to an eternal life of misery than show them the answer we have found.

We have the light! We know the way for those in darkness to see! We have the answers to their questions. We know the way they can find peace.

We cannot afford to hide our light. We cannot afford to hold back the message of Jesus Christ. The world is crying out for answers but can't find their way because there is so much darkness surrounding them.

Don't let your light be hidden. Don't hold back the gift of eternal life from those who so desperately need it. Choose to place your light on a pedestal. Choose to open your mouth and share your testimony. Choose to offer Christ's love to someone in need.

Let your light shine, so others can find their way to salvation.

Verse of the Day: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16
