Are you a light?

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

—Matthew 5:14, 16

Song reference!

We are the light of the world

We are the city on a hill

We are the light of the world

We gotta, we gotta, we gotta let the light shine

We are called to spread the news

Tell the world the simple truth

Jesus came to save, there’s freedom in His name

So let his love break through

Darkness dominates our world and despite appearances, darkness controls so much of what is said and how it is viewed by the world.

When someone lives for Christ, they will be noticed.

Every day people see you - what do they see?

Do they see the person you are, the person that God wants you to be, or the person that your boss/spouse/society wants you to be? 

I don’t like trying to keep those three separate personas, I want to be the person that God wants me to be. 

I saw a quote once: “When you are not the person God has called you to be, you keep others from being the person God has called them to be.”

I want to be the person that God wants me to be. 

If that means letting my light shine, well then, I hope I am blinding!!

I hope others see God's grace through my life so they will come to know the Savior!

Have a blessed day!

For those of you following my technology drama, I did get my phone sort of restored – I got my apps and contacts and some data, but I lost photos, text messages and other data from the last 6 months.  At this point I am happy to have my phone back, and I have a reminder set to back it up weekly. J  I think this is where my kids would say “first world problems”
