Shine On

Matthew 5:16 – “Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
     No one like a braggart or a show boater. It is unbecoming to always try to steal the spot-light or take credit for every little thing that one does. It is with modesty and humble hearts that we win over souls for Christ; but we must not keep our good works hidden. It is desirable that we allow the world to know that we are children of the Most High God and that it is through him that we move and live and have our being.
     When asked how you finished a difficult task or project. Tell about the hours you put in and the amount of study and effort it required and be sure to let them know that you could do all things through Christ who strengthened you.
     When asked how you are able to keep being such a great caregiver or in-law or spouse to such grumpy people. Tell them how God’s steadfast love gives you the patience to run the race and endure.
     It is from our connection with Christ that our lives truly have meaning and how we are able to do all of the wonderful things we have accomplished. Let the world know! Let your light shine!
     Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day! Be blessed! Rev. Dr. JoAnn
