Ohhh Jessica! Where are you! She's honestly somewhere praying! But please forgive us it has been a hectic week school is almost coming to an end. Jessica will be GRADUATING this summer thanks be to God. But let me give you the issue at hand Matthew 5:14-16 says:
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 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. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
Powerful words from our Lord and Saviour. He is telling us to let our light shine! A lot of times as Christians when we discovered this light, we sometimes tend to only let that light shine with other light. Meaning we only stay around other Christians. We do not go into the darkness of this work and allow our light to SHINE The words of the Son said to us in Matthew 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit". He does not say to us go and make disciples of ourselves, rather ALL NATIONS. As The Word was with us in the form of man he went and sat with and taught both JEWS and GENTILES alike. He sat in the houses of Matthew and Zeccheaus both despised tax collectors. But as we know are God is Love and saw fit to help change them. We should do the same, remember it is the grace and the favor of our Lord and Saviour that we had a renewal of our mind. So we must allow the Fathers light to shine within us that others may see this light and want to find that same light within them. So I beseech you brethren. allow your light to not only shine. But to LIGHT UP THE DARKNESS!
Here's some food for thought:
