JOURNAL/LET THE LIGHT SHINE ON YOU

















JOURNAL/LET THE LIGHT SHINE ON YOU




“NO ONE who light s lamp conceals it with a vessel or sets it under a bed” Luke 8:16




LIGHTS are to be seen-SHARED-and not hidden-The light that JESUS refers to is OUR LIVES-ALLOW your light to be VISIBLE so that others-who see it-WILL FIND HOPE


OF COURSE-our light ULTIMATELY comes from GOD and Christ-but as modern day CHRISTIANS
-our lives should be an EXAMPLE for others-BEACONS OF HOPE we are to be


it is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us and a GREAT DAY to let the light shine on us-and to let others KNOW that GOD LIVES IN US

LET THE LIGHT SHINE ON YOU








Are you a person
Who tries to do God’s will
In the world today


Maybe NOT always getting it right
But you keep trying
To be a positive influence
In the world


Well stand up
Take a bow
Let the light
Shine on you


You---YOU
Are one of the few


“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 men
That they may see your good deeds
And praise YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN” Matthew 5:14-16


You can’t be a beacon
If your light don’t shine


I don’t know about you
But I feel
Like we live in a world
That is getting a little bit meaner
Each and every day


Sometimes
I feel like this world can’t get any lower
But then it does


I have an idea
Let it STOP
With me and you


Did you know
That KINDNESS
Is one of the FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT


“But the fruit of the spirit
Is love, joy, peace, patience, KINDNESS,
Goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control
Against such things---there is no law” Galatians 5-22-24


If you are LIVING in the spirit
Stand up-take a bow
LET THE LIGHT SHINE ON YOU


Saint Vincent Depaul once said,
“The surest way to become a SAINT
Is to be kind-be kind- be KIND”


Saint Theresa the Little Flower was kind
Many consider her to be
The Saint of the ordinary
The ONE whose vocation was LOVE


You can’t be a beacon
If your light don’t shine


“For God who said
Let light shine our of your darkness
Made his light shine in our hearts
To give us the light of knowledge
Of the glory of God
In the face of Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6


Do good---BE light---Let God’s Light---
LET THE LIGHT SHINE ON YOU
