"For this is what the Lord has commanded us: 'I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.'" -Acts 13:47 (NIV)
In preparing for a recent night event at the nature center, we placed glow sticks on the trails to caution the night hikers. When we walked the trail in daylight and placed the glow sticks, they didn't appear to be glowing. However, when darkness set in, the glow sticks were bright and easily seen.
As Christians, we are called to be a light for others. There are times when others may think life is bright and they may not notice our glowing light, but when darkness sets in, we shouldn't say, "I told you so." Instead, we should continue to glow and allow our light to seem even brighter in the darker moments than in the lighter ones. We can be the light by showing God's love in all we do and allowing Him to make our light as bright as it needs to be!
Be the light that you know the world needs!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and giving me love that I can share with others. Help my light to shine as bright as it needs to for Your Kingdom. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
