Is your Light shining?

How's your light doing these days? Are you in the in crowd? Or are you complaining about anything and everything? Do people really know who you are? In Matthew 5:14-16 says You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before man. That they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven. How many of you are shining that light to the world? Just like the verse says that a city on a hill can not be hidden. Let's say you built your house on the biggest hill in your town. Your cut down all the trees around the hill so everyone could see your house from every direction. Now try to hide your house. It's impossible. The same was is with you. When you ask Jesus in your heart His light shines through you. People can recognize that light. Even though you might try to hide it underneath that bowl of yours. It can not be hidden. A lot of Christians like to try to hide the light. They don't talk about God in a work place because they are afraid if they do people might think they are weird. Or they will gossip or swear because they want to be excepted. At the same time they are telling there kids not to do those things. People like to hide behind excuses why they don't spread God's light around. I'm to shy or it's just not me. This is my favorite one. I want to make them my friends before spreading the gospel. Let me tell you. If you are waiting for the friendship you are to late. Because they might die on the way home from work and they would be going to hell and it would be your fault. We have to remember that God told us not to be of this world. So let's step out of the world box and into God's box. God says we are more than able to everything He tells us to do. We can do all things! We have a true friend in Christ that will never leave of us. How many of your friends that you have now would actually lay down there life for you. We need to show God's light threw our actions and threw our words. Let now complain and swear like the rest. Let's be positive and up lifting in our words. God has put the future of the church in all of our hands. Either we are going to make it powerful or weak. Remember the disciples left there family members there friends without saying good bye to follow Jesus. What kind of sacrifices are you willing to make to get the gospel out. Let God take control and let's put the devil were he belongs underneath our feet.
