Let your light so shine before
men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is
in heaven.
Matthew 5:16
I think of all the wonderful things that God has brought into my life
and I feel truly blessed. The transformation he has made, and continues
to make in my life, leaves me speechless and amazed at His greatness. I
cannot understand why anyone would reject Him. But there are millions
who never give any thought to their creator or have any desire to know
Him. Maybe their assessment of those who serve God, proves to be no
different then the life they are living. We can shout scriptures
throughout the streets, we can tell them all the wonderful things God
has done and about how Jesus came and died so that all may be saved. It
is all truth but what do they see in us? People are seeking something
real, something that will make a difference in their life. Every soul
everywhere ultimately longs for their creator. When they look into our
eyes, do they see Jesus? Is there an opportunity for them to meet their
creator? Is His love occupying our hearts? Is His character evident in
all that we do? Are we different? Is there any evidence in our life that
backs up the words that we speak? God has placed His light within us
through the Holy Spirit. We have a responsibility to allow the light of
the Holy Spirit to be clearly identifiable in our lives. To shine! Not
dimly but brightly! The Holy Spirit makes available to them, the ability
to discern between the truth and a lie, between good and evil. It is
then, that their soul will realize what it has been searching for.
Prayer
You have filled my life with the light of Your Spirit Lord, I praise You
and thank You. My heart aches for those who have not come to love You
and to know You. Let Your Holy Spirit be evident in my life, let them
see that You have made a difference in me and that You desire to make a
difference in them. Let them discover the treasure of You, that You may
be exalted and they find what their souls are searching for. Amen
