Let your LIGHT shine before men.

YOU WERE ONCE DARKNESS, BUT NOW YOU ARE LIGHT IN THE LORD. LIVE AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT, FOR THE FRUIT OF THE LIGHT CONSISTS IN ALL GOODNESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH. EPHESIANS 5:8-9 * NIV
As Childern of Light our actions shoul reflect our faith, and shine brightly to others. We should never be afraid to show our faith no matter where we are, or who we are with. After all we are beacons of God’s Love shining out into dark World that is searching for love in all the wrong places. A World that is full of people without love, hope and faith.
Therefore our Savior Jesus Christ stressed this truth in the Sermon on the Mount, for He said “YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A CITY ON A HILL CANNOT BE HIDDEN. NEITHER DO PEOPLE LIGHT A LAMP AND PUT IT UNDER A BOWL. INSTEAD THEY PUT IT ON ITS STAND, AND IT GIVES LIGHT TO EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE.” MATTHEW 5:14-15
Further, you probably have known people that seem to light up a room when they enter, well, IN THE SAME WAY, LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE BEFORE MEN, THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD DEEDS AND PRAISE YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN. MATTHEW 5:16
Now you may be thinking “my light is a dim one.” Well, I believe that our dim light is magnified by the immense mirror of God’s Love. Thus it truly shines brightly when we tell others about our Heavenly Father, and show goodness toward the people in our lives! So try it today and see for yourself, for if everyone would light just one little candle what a bright World this would be! Amen
Let Christ’s Love dwell in you.

TEACHER, WHICH IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT IN THE LAW? JESUS SAID TO HIM, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND. THIS IS THE FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT. AND THE SECOND IS LIKE IT: YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. MATTHEW 22:36-40 *NKJV
In the top verse Jesus quoted from DEUTERONOMY 6:5 and LEVITICUS 19:18. By fulfilling these two commands, a person may keep all of the others. For these two summarize the Ten Commandments, as well as, the Old Testament moral laws as well!
The Apostle John summed it up this way: BELOVED, IF GOD SO LOVED US, WE ALSO OUGHT TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER. 1 JOHN 4:11
This is why it is so important in our walk of Faith, that we become living examples of Christ’s Love! For when we mirror that Great Love, it actually plants the seeds of Faith in others, thus helping them to achieve Eternal Life with our Heavenly Father. There is no greater gift that you can give to someone!
Now by giving this gift it pleases God and all of the Company of Heaven, for it is written: THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER WHO REPENTS. LUKE 15:10
Christ, in His lifetime showed love to all. As His likeness, we also ought to do the same to one another.
So, have a wonderful day, and please take the time to do a little planting!
