Jesus uses His followers to influence unbelievers to trust in Him. Is your light shining brightly enough to attract their attention? When they are in trouble or have an illness in their families, do they call you to pray for them? Are you caring and loving in their time of need? Are you blindly following a crowd who are going in the wrong direction? Or, do you stop, look and listen to what God’s word is telling you to do?
Matthew 5:14,15 – “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand and it gives light to all who are in the house.”
Dare to be different! Because you are!
1 Peter 2:9 – “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of the darkness into His marvelous light.”
Ephesians 5:8 – “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.”
II Chronicles 16:18 – “Give thanks unto the Lord and tell others of His deeds.”
I used to walk in darkness, but Jesus set me free.
I can now reflect His light that He has given me.
I pray that all who I know will walk in His light.
And all of the darkness will quickly take flight.
