Shine for Jesus

Ok, I haven't posted for a very long time but I wanted to write this out because its one of my favorite topics....Letting your light shine for Christ! I guess I love it so much because when i wasn't walking with the Lord I was surrounded by darkness and I really didn't realize it then as I do now and Satan can still use that as a foothole in my life....memories...thats why i love this topic, its about shineing and i am ale to do that now because Jesus Christ saved me out of the darkness and now I can do my part to glow!

"Over your head flickers a bejeweled sky, seen only at night. Here is one of the great ironies of life: the darker the night, the brighter the stars.

Darkness has no substance, but it can feel heavy and oppressive. UNwanted darkness is persistent. It cannot be swept from your life, vacuumed away, or tucked in a corner. The only way to get rid of darkness is to introduce light.

Jesus's words are a reminder that you are a light of the world. Just as the night sky is tempered by the many stars that shine in it, so you too can contribute your light to the world. Sometimes you need someone else's light; other times they need yours. Fragile as you are, your light can still put darkness in its place. What is your light? It is every kind word, every wrong forgiven, every bit of wisdom shared and love expressed. Darkness cannot overcome the light that blazes out of you."

One Final THought: You are the light of the world and your glow can push back any darkness. Share your light. Combine your light with others and watch the darkness flee.
