How are we shining today ?

" In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." 
Matthew 5:16

 

For His light to shine through us there is a need for us to surrender all to Him. Imagine a light bulb and on that we place different pieces of cloth here and there... The amount of light coming out of the bulb will surely be diminished.

 

God is calling us for a life of Holiness and Purity. These just make us more transparent to the watching world and His light shines through us. However if we choose to pick up pride , pick up different patterns of the world and place it upon us, these are opaque bodies that will hinder the light shining through us.

 

We cannot choose to have patterns of darkness in us and say we are children of the light. We serve an amazing loving Father, He is so gracious.. He gives us strength beyond what we can imagine. It is He who cleanses us from all sin, It is He who gives us strength and grace to follow after Him.. It is He who gives us wisdom...

 

So lets rely on Him completely , lets surrender all and ask Him to chip away things that are in us that are not pleasing in His sight.

 

May this be our prayer , that our light  will shine before others, so that they may see our good works and give glory to our Father who is in heaven. May we truly be walking as children of Light

 

God Bless
