Saturday sitting in the little rock chapel the thought crossed my little brain that "wow the light shining through looks like all of us." We all bring different lights into this dark world. We bring our own stories, we bring our own backgrounds, we bring ourselves and we are all unique and we are all wonderfully made by Our Lord. Yet each of us are given the choice whether we allow our light to shine for Jesus in this dark world.
The chapel light was provided by nature. Shining through the beautiful windows or through the open front door. I felt so close to the Lord surrounded only by nature and this little chapel in the woods. It was a beautiful moment and a wonderful reminder about allowing our lights to shine.
I picked up something to read this morning and once again this thought came through my brain. Darkness and Light. Sadness and being mean seem to rule this world. I can't hardly watch any news anymore, because all of it wants to bring someone down. Whichever side you lean towards it doesn't matter it is the same. To bring someone down and enjoy watching them fall. Why? The devil is busy at work that is why! Realize it folks and don't let the devil win.
Be the hope. Be the sunshine in someones dark room. Be the person you know in your heart that you are suppose to be. Remember God's promises and not the hateful words that ring on all sides of this world.
Listen to these words found in Isaiah 60: 19-20
The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you,
for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more;
the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end.
One day our world will shine brightly with God's glory lighting everything and everyone. Believe it, cling to this truth! Treasure small moments with the LORD in little chapels while we know in our hearts He is the Light and He is the answer to all that is wrong in this world. He holds our hands and helps us through the wrongs, so grab His hand and allow His Light to shine along the pathway of life.
Sweet blessings,
Debbie
