on being light.

You are the light of the world. 

You are, you know. 

Jesus said so.

Some days you may wonder 

if you can make a difference. 

You don't talk like her. 

You're not as bold as he is. 

You look different,

you sound different. 

And, perhaps, you even 

feel different

than they must.

You must be eloquent

and charismatic

and charming

and beautiful, right?

Augh.

Sounds like high school.

Never mind.

But, wait.

Where in the BIble

does it ever say that those are the attributes

that God's looking for?

Nowhere.

It's not in there.

Do you love Jesus?

You fit the bill.

Have a broken and humble heart?

 You qualify.

Seeking Him with all you've got?

You're in.

Trying each day to trust Him more?

You're just the person He's looking for.

You are the light of the world.

A city set on a hill.

Or an office.

Or a conference room.

Or a grocery store.

Or a dinner table.

Or a playgroup.

Now. 

Not later.

You are the 

light of the world 

now.

Seek Jesus 

and keep your eyes open 

for how He wants to shine

through 

beautiful,

unique,

courageous

you

today.

You are the light of the world- 

like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. 

No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. 

Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, 

where it gives light to everyone in the house. 

In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, 

so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

~Matthew 5:14-16

Many blessings,
