| Luke 8:16 no one lights a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or hides it under a bed. A lamp ia place on a stand, where its light can been seen by all who enter the house.
There comes a time , when your're deeply aware of how grace ( favor) God has poured into your life, that you simply cannot hold it inside you anymore. It occurs to you that to hoard grace is an oxymoron , and that if you do so, that makes you, well makes us a moron.
You must release it, let it out. Share it. Jesus said that if you've been forgiven much, you'll much. Luke 7 He said, let your light shine. Matthew 5:16
Growing up, I was told shining your light was a metaphor for witnessing, which in the evangelical tradition. I found myself a part of, meant giving a verbal witness, sharing the plan of salvation with people and dragging them, somehow, across, " the line of faith".
I wonder, doesn't life, radically change by grace, shine brighter than an argument about the existence of God? Isn't grace lived out more compelling than grace theologically explained?
If we fully grasp the truth of grace, it would change how we live and especially how we love. We should shine. God's love and grace would flow through us, we'd become grace conduit.
In many ways, grace and the joy it brings, makes no sense. Which is precisely why it's such a gift. You can try to manufacture a positive attitude without experiencing grace. But it's going to be just that manufactured. Or you can receive the grace of God, and then choose to let what is already inside simply out on everyone around you.
Ask Jesus to make you aware of His grace today, and give you the courage to simply shine.
Father guide me today to do all things to bring glory and honor to You AMEN
For it is with God all things are possible
Have a very Blessed Friday, and weekend. LET IT SHINE!!!
