One of wife’s biggest complaints is – “it’s too dark in here, I can’t stand it!” If I had a dime for everytime she’s said that I could retire early. Many times I’ve witnessed her enter a room, jerking open curtains and switching on lights.
This caused a little discussion between us in the beginning. Because I came from the school of, “why do you have all these lights on… looks like Christmas!” So my thought was to turn lights off if you didn’t need them.
But as time went on I started to like the light. With the light you can see your surroundings better. It also illuminates the mess. We noticed that recently when we bought some of those LED bulbs. Man, they are bright. The light is even stronger.
Our relationship with Jesus is the same. Before meeting Him we spend a lot of time in the darkness of sin. But after we meet Him and are introduced to the Light, we start to like it. We even get to the point we can’t be without it. We constantly want to be in the presence of Light. And it even helps us clean up our mess. Because we can see it better now.
After becoming Chrstians we are told to share our light with the world.
Today, if you are a Chrstian, I encourage you to share your Light with someone. Let them see and experience Jesus’ love through you. The world can really use it now.
If not, I encourage you to find that Light today. I promise you’ll love it.
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
John 8:12 NKJV
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16 NKJV
Turn on the light!
