Is your light shining??????

Good morning everyone!!! I hope this is a wonderful day for each and every one of you!!!! God blesses us each and everyday. God is good all the time and all the time God is good!!!! What a blessing to be a Christian!! This time of year most people are happy and in good moods! Why do we all have to wait until Christmas time to let our brotherly love shine in us? Hmmm?
Today, some Christians do hide, they will not openly, or are reluctant to be known or ID'ed as a Christian. Why? This person is like a new candle that never comes out of the carton. It casts no like, its beauty doesn't show, nothing comes of it for what it's purpose is. Is this your Christianity? Hidden? Not shining forth? What does Jesus say?
Mark 4:21-23 "Then Jesus asked them, "WOULD ANYONE LIGHT A LAMP AND THEN PUT IT UNDER A BASKET OR UNDER A BED? OF COURSE NOT! A LAMP IS PLACED ON A STAND, WHERE ITS LIGHT WILL SHINE. FOR EVERYTHING THAT IS HIDDEN WILL EVENTUALLY BE BROUGHT INTO THE OPEN, AND EVERY SECRET WILL BE BROUGHT TO LIGHT. ANYONE WITH EARS TO HEAR SHOULD LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND."
So, if you are hiding, or are hiding something, you can keep it a 'secret' from me, but not from our living God. It will come out into the open. Be proud of your lineage, you are a child of the King, of the Heavenly Father. Don't hide anything!! Something bad talk to Jesus, let it be revealed and ask forgiveness. If you are down in courage just talk to Jesus and ask Him for strength. Take time today to pray, ask God for knowledge and wisdom to do what is right in His sight, to walk His walk, to be a Christ like example.
Thank you for reading with me today. Stop, Drop, and Pray. God is always there, Jesus is always there, the Holy Spirit will led. Just give them the opportunity. Love you all! I claim a wonderful day, a victory through Jesus!!!!
In Christ's Love and Grace
