"The Light in me"

The light in you makes you different from others. You want to be a leader, instead of a follower. Even if you think you stand alone, Jesus is always with you.

What a great video. The kids were all having such a good time together, innocent fun. Until the dark side comes out, the mischievous side most kids have. Kids will be kids, and I remember being one of the ones who always followed. I didn’t want anyone to make fun of me, or not like me. That’s why I got grounded all the time. I wasn’t thinking of disappointing my parents. I’m thankful now for the punishments. They taught me right from wrong. To really go deep inside myself, to that spark in my heart. I didn’t want to hurt my mom and dad with bad choices anymore.

Well now that I’m older, I don’t want to hurt my Father in heaven, who put that light in me, and I want it to burn bright. He’s the only hope that leads you out of the dark every time. He makes us brighter, and will keep you from growing dim. Luke 8:16, “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a jar…Instead, he puts it on a stand, so that those who come in will see the light.” Our witness for Christ shows in our actions, sometimes even in our silence.

Matthew 6:22 “The eye is the lamp of the body”…

As you get to know God, like you know your parents, you begin to understand that unconditional love. Love that wants to protect. Just like our parents tried to help us see things clearly, so does God. God wants us to see the world from His point of view. All in need of a Savior. This can easily be clouded by following what people say and do, over what God says, and wants you to do. That’s why we need to be in His word, and a bible teaching church.

It was, and still is my desire, as I get older to make my mom and dad proud with all the things they taught me. Now it’s my deepest desire to please God, and let the world see.. “He put the light in me.” Be that reflection of Jesus, and make your Father in heaven proud.

Grace and peace to you
