“For you are all children of light, children of the day.

We are not of the night or of the darkness”

(1 Thessalonians 5:5).

As a child of God we’re called to  allow God’s light  to shine through as we minister to others.  Feeding the poor, helping the sick, caring for those in good times and bad, and all things we encounter during the course of the day are part of His plan.

As we  follow Jesus’ example in ministry to resist evil and pray for people letting the light of God glimmer and sparkle through us extending to those who sit in darkness, we experience a growth in faith and our intimacy with the LORD.

.  He defeated death and overcame the world.  He is the Lamb of God. The LIGHT of the world!  And in Him there  is no darkness at all!

Even in the darkest of times, He is never overcome.

He lights our path, and shows us the way.

He is our hope.

“Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12).  The Master and Lord of lights has given you His Word and promise that when we follow Him we will never be “encased in darkness” — instead we will be filled with light.

One of the most incredible things I’ve ever heard was from a virtual stranger.  It was while I was waiting in my doctors office. This person seemed to be in a “sad zone.”  I started by smiling of which there was no response.  Then I offered light conversation about the weather and “waiting” time in the office.  It opened a path to speak with this person.  And after we spoke the individual said, “you seem to have something going on that I wish I had in my life. There’s just something about you.  What is your secret?”  I answered, “God.”  I’ve no doubt that my comments and actions that day were based on “the LORD above” who used me as a vessel in order to shine His light  and to help one of “His children” come out from the darkness into the light.

• When we “hear” Him and “follow Him” we’re able to fully engage in the supernatural and harness our spirituality which generates from His Spirit… resulting in the light from within to without.

Shining a light is crucial to the tenets of our faith.   When we shine the light we are continuing in His Word and honoring Jesus’ ministry and doctrine…that is to say “The Word.”

• Conspire to fulfill His Word today.
• Smile, offer help, provide services to those in need where we can.

By doing so we are able to conform in unity to His doctrine and be in obedience to His laws, ultimately being a vessel in His will thereby bringing about the purpose of His plan for our lives.

Shine. Shine. Shine.

Love. Love. Love.

Is your light shining today?  If so….shine on.

“Father, thank You for Your light, love and purpose for our life, We pray for those in darkness that they might pursue You with a fervency and seek Your Kingdom as they walk the earth, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

“And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground” (Isaiah 42:16).
