Let the Son Shine In
Ephesians 5:8, “For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.”
Good Morning! Hello to everyone that has realized God has blessed you with another day! My first question to you is, how is the sun shining in your life? Have you awoken to the light of the sun beaming through the windows, the trees; the light overtaking the dark slowly but surely all around? Are we really comprehending how the light is the only thing that can overcome the darkness? The writers in the Bible spoke of true light, being the light, and how the light of the world can be in us daily. God created light to overshadow any darkness. I believe that again, He placed the moon and stars into the night sky to show their brilliance and how even in the dark, we can find the light! My thoughts for you today is to see how God’s light can dwell with you at all times. When you let negative thoughts bring dark, sad, or gloomy feelings that begin to cloud over your day; we have forgotten who provides the light we need. Many times, we allow this world of negative evil to bring about dark, disorienting experiences in our daily lives. And without knowing or realizing those dark feelings pass on to anyone in our lives we come in contact with! Thus, now we have created a domino effect that starts pushing out positivity pushing us into darkness. My question now is, how can you not feel the light of God within you; telling and showing how His light can lead you through any darkness you will encounter? We were called to spread the great commission of reaching all people with the light so they can experience the true light! We were taught songs like “This little light of mine” or “Rise and Shine, give God the glory”, which all tell us to not hide the light! Jesus became the light that dawns within us all! So today, I would like you to find the true light you are given that will fill you, provide positivity, and push you to reflect a light that others will desire to have! Reach deep and stop being complacent, stop being insecure, and let your light shine! Your transformation with the positive light will give you strength to let the SON shine!
