“People do not light a lamp and cover it with a bowl or put it under a bed. Instead, they put it on the lampstand, so that people will see the light as they come in.” Luke 8:16
We need to become the light of the world, and make ourselves visible! To see myself as part of the Body of Christ I can’t hide in a corner, and wait for someone else to do the work. If I create time to read my Bible and pray, make myself available at church, become involved in my community, etc., I immediately move into a position whereby my message to the world is that it is no longer about me, but all about Jesus!
Prayer: Dear God, help me today to let my light shine. You know how some people in my life sometimes drain me with their problems, and how extremely difficult it is for me on those days to remain positive and focused. But help me to constantly remind myself that it is not about me. Because if I keep my eyes focused on You, my light is as bright as a shining star! Amen
