Shine Your light through me… (Todays Journal)

You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
1Thess. 5:5

Jesus is the light of the world, His light reveals truth, it reveals hope, it reveals the way of relationship and eternal peace. We are sons of this light. No matter how dark a place can get the smallest light will always make a difference. So it’s not about who shines brightest it’s just about who’s shining. We are called and appointed to allow Jesus to shine through our lives.

This morning at work I had to go back out to the car. The most amazing sunrise had begun to take place. I saw the beginning of a new day, right before my eyes. I begin to sing in my heart “How great is our God”. With the start of each new day I have a decision to make is Anthony going to shine or is Jesus going to shine through Anthony. My influence is limited but Jesus’ influence through my life is limitless. But what about when I feel like my life and my light is like a flicker? Then it’s time to recharge. I have one of those flashlights that does not need batteries. To charge the light up you must shake it, the shaking passes a magnet through a coil creating a charge. As I journal and pass the word through my heart it recharges the light in my life and I begin to see God’s truth and His plan for my life, Jesus shines. Everyone needs a recharge, life has a way of leaving you depleted and drained and the best way to recharge is through God and His word.

Lord, you set up this time that I have had with you perfectly, thank you, I needed a recharge more than I thought. Thank you for showing me the way. Shine your light through my life when I speak, when I react, when I simply walk. Shine your light through me Jesus. In Jesus name, amen.
