Allow Your Light To Shine

 November 23, 2024

Verse of the day - John 1:5 (NRSV)

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.

In chapter 9 of my first book Jesus speaks to us about allowing our light to shine.

Excerpt from Spirituality, A Journey For My Soul

I came into being first, and then I created the world.  I brought light into the darkness of this world.  All things were created by Me.  I am the Light of the World.  I give My Light to all.   I desire all people to let their light shine before men.  Allow them to see the good that you do.  By allowing you light to shine in the darkness of this world, everything will become brighter.  Many people see this world as dark and gloomy.  When you share the Light of Life with them, their world lightens up and they begin to see things in a new light.  When things are seen in a new light, life becomes easier.  My desire for all of My children of this world is for everyone to come to Me with their problems.  I will lighten your load so that you will be able to cope better with the situations that you are in.  Release everything unto Me, the Light of Life, and I will give you rest.

At Baptism we are given the Light of Christ.  As we grow older and we come to know Jesus as our Lord and Savior, our light grows brighter.  Jesus desires us to share our light with other people so that they too may see His great love shine through us.
