SHINE THE LIGHT

witnessing-jesus_thumb.jpg

Good morning to you!
What a blessed and beautiful day! My husband told me that the forecast was for some snow this morning and then again this afternoon. Well, it was 45* earlier and the sky is as blue as can be with not a cloud on the horizon. I know that clouds can blow in fast but they haven't yet. So, let's enjoy the sun while it lasts. Although the forecasters are known to make mistakes, sometimes more often than not. Oh, well, none of us are perfect!

But Jesus is. Is the Son shining in your life? I want Him to shine every moment of every day in my life. And since I am very, very far from perfect that doesn't always happen. My prayers, hopes, and dreams are that I will all the time but I fail deeply. Lord, forgive me! Actually He is shining in me, I just don't show it a lot. Am I hiding His light under a bushel? I guess I am. 

I am going to try to do better at letting His light shine in me. Letting God's light shine may be talking about His Truth but:

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the 
life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6 

"While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
John 9:5

Jesus is the way. Jesus is the truth. Jesus is the life. And He is the light. So, if we are going to let His light shine through us, we are pointing others to Him, to His way, to His truth, and to His life. And that is what I want to do. That is what we are supposed to do.

And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim 
the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes
 and is baptized will be saved, but whoever 
does not believe will be condemned. 
Mark 16:15-16

In the same way, let your light shine before others,
 so that they may see your good works and 
give glory to your Father who is in heaven.  
Matthew 5:16

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in 
heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go
 therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing 
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and 
of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all 
that I have commanded you. And behold, I am 
with you always, to the end of the age.” 
Matthew 28:18-20

Let's do it! All of us are called to do it. Not just some of us. Let's let the light of Jesus shine through us and tell others all about Him!

Have a wonderful day!

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...

DROUGHT

  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
