Is Your Light Shining?
What God would want us to know is that we need to let our
light shine in the darkness of this world?
I know that God placed me in this world so that I could help gather his
lost sheep and bring them back home.
While Jesus walked here on earth, He was the light of the world; so when
he left us and went back to Heaven, He left us to stand as the light for
Him. I don’t know about you but I don’t
want to let Him down.
Matthew 5:13 ye are the salt of the earth, but if the salt
have lost his savior, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for
nothing, but to be cast out, and trodden under foot of men.
If you are one who just sits back and doesn’t reach out,
your light will never shine, so the world will just get darker and darker, as
we are seeing at this time in our world.
We are so overcome with darkness, and so many are scared to get
involved. I want to please God and let
my bright light shine into this darkness.
One day we will stand before God and He will ask what happened to your
light when I needed you to shine? What
will your answer be?
John 5:35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were
willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
I take a look at John the Baptist and see that he was a good
example of a shining light; he had a vision and followed it. He was obedient to God; he turned hearts over
to him by testifying and shining bright when he needed to. John was able to bring many into the waters
where they repented, got baptized and Praise God they gave their hearts back to
God. Are you ready to shine for God, to
step into the depth of the world, close and far to bring those sheep home?
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the
Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they
may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Let others see the light in you; let others see your good
works and what happens when you do. We
are the only light this world has to show others; what a gracious God we serve
and what He did for us during His walk here on earth and that day on the
cross. He is the only light there is,
don’t walk alone in darkness.
It makes God so happy to see His children burning their
lights and on fire for Him, excited to tell others about Him. Think about how proud you are of your
children when they do something good, rather it’s a good grade, or hitting a
home run. Don’t you want God to be proud
of you; if so don’t be ashamed of God, He is the all sufficient one, He will
provide for all your needs. If you feel
your light is dim, then get into His light; His Word, and get recharged. It’s that simple, God loves you, He realizes
we all feel burned out sometimes, but He is there to give us rest and
nourishment so that we can shine again.
It is time we get off our tush and witness more for God, the
darkness of this world is swallowing up good people, and your light might have
been all that was needed to have kept them from drowning. Do you want that on your shoulder?
Even in the coldest day of winter, Gods Son Shines through
and allows His heat to touch us.
Philippians 4:13. I
can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV) 18And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even
unto the end of the world. Amen.
