I looked out on my garden,while it was still dark,now we have many solar lights,but only one was shining. Only one , but it shone in the dark,the word of God declares,that the whole world lieth in darkness[1 John 5v19]. As I read history I soon become aware how truly dark things can become,likewise if I read a paper,there is a darkness, darkness in banking in politics,the sad commentary of the human situation we love,yes love darkness rather than light.[John 3 v19] One can feel so overwhelmed by the darkness,what can be do?,very simple we can shine,as lights in a dark place.That is the challenge,to shine by our good works,to shine in being holy. Yes be holy,William Gurnall wrote,/ The people who will not love you because you are holy, cannot help but respect and fear you for the same reason/.Let us remember light can be an influence for good,a lighthouse will be the means of saving many lives,so we can be like a lighthouse ,by simply shining,God can use us to bring sinners into the light,to know Him who is the light of the world,even Jesus.Shine wherever God has placed you,that is why He has placed you there,stop looking at other places,shine today,in the place you are at.
A prayer...../Dear God a simple request help us to shine in Jesus Name Amen /
