Let your light shine Mood

Friday, May 16, 2008

In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16, New International Version As Christians, we are not called to isolate ourselves from culture. We are not called to be hermits or monks. Instead, we are to recognize that we are in a world of darkness and live as light -- not as little candles tucked away in some inner bedroom, but as candles set on their stands so all can see their light or cities on a hill that can't be hidden. Of course, our goal is not to call attention to ourselves, but to help others see the glorious grace of our Father. Phil Ware

Who is Phil Ware? When I lived in California, I used to know some Wares.... Brandon Ware. I had him in my children's choir.... but he's all grown up now.

Thanks, once again, for an uplifting passage of scripture. Love it when you do this.... God's blessings on you today~

I so agree with this. Christians aren't suppose to be miserable people. We are suppose to be happy and show our light. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for being a light.
