Let your Light Shine !
Luke: Chapter 8 verses 16-17
No-one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar
or
puts it under a bed.
Instead, they put it on a stand,
so that those who come in can see a light.
For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed
and nothing concealed
that will not be known
or brought out into the open.
*
So therefore Jesus said in Matthew: Chapter 5 verse 14.
* You are the Light of the world *
*
What do you think of that then? As Christians we really are the light in the World. With The Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord in us we can spread the Light of the World.
We are not to hide our Light under a bushel, under a bed, under anything at all, we have to let our light shine whether people like it or not.
So how do we do that then?
Well – if we have any sort of talent we are to use it for the Glory of God our Heavenly Father.
He has given us our talents – it maybe cooking, hospitality, knitting, woodwork, painting, all kinds of artist talents, gardening, writing etc., as well as whatever employment we are involved in to support our family and ourselves.
Also helping others, encouraging others, especially our family, friends and our Church Congregation. Volunteering is another talent we can use in our community so that people will be blessed.
Remember that as you bless others – you too will be blessed.
Blessing others – that is giving God Glory.
Also thank Him that He enables you to use the Talents that He has given you.
How much nicer it is to do any of the above with a smile and a willing heart.
That really will be letting our Light Shine for The Lord.
* I pray that God our Heavenly Father will Bless you today with the Love of Jesus *
Have a lovely Day.
God hear’s us (you and me) !!!
Psalm 55 verse 22
Cast your cares on The LORD
and
He will sustain you;
He will never let the righteous fall.
*
Isn’t that marvellous, that our God will sustain us!
Whatever our circumstance,
being righteous in Jesus Christ –
when we call on God He does hear us.
From the book: ‘Drink from the Cup’ by J.M.R.Larman.

Do you know that God does hear our Prayers. To be sure that He hears them we do need to have Jesus in our heart as our Lord and Saviour. So we then can Pray straight to God our Heavenly Father. When we are learning to pray – a good Prayer is The Lord’s Prayer. If we are a new Christian and not sure what to pray this is a good one to learn.
This is the Prayer that Jesus taught His Disciples to pray and it really covers every thing that we need.
Of course we can pray for anything at anytime and as long as it is within God’s Will He will allow it for us to come into being. Maybe not straight away and that is when we start to doubt whether He has heard our prayer. You see sometimes it is not good for us to have everything we want just when we want it.
When we were a child we had to wait until we were old enough to have certain things or to go to certain places maybe on our own and our Parent would say ( ‘no’ you have to wait) Well God is our Heavenly Father and He knows what is best for us and He cares for us. In whatever circumstance’s we find ourselves it is good to know that He cares about us and loves us and will provide for us at the right time.
It is good to know that we have a God of Love who cares for us and our families.
We do need to Pray for our loved ones so they can also be blessed.
* God Bless you – have a Lovely Day today *
