Arise and Shine

Arise and Shine

Matthew 5: 13- 16 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the household.”

Shine! Shine! Glow! God has been speaking to me lately and telling me to step out and “SHINE!” And as followers of Jesus we should. We should glow and shine differently. This glow we are to have is to help draw others in. We are light in the dark “a city on a hill.” Be the light He has called you to be and encourage others. Be a witness of His love wherever you go. Step out and glow!

It’s funny because throughout my life I’ve had many people tell me that I sparkle and shine. As I was driving to work yesterday I was talking to God about this. He told me that I sparkle everywhere I go to make an impact for Him. We are to make a difference and change the atmosphere! He told me “You are my precious jewel, and what do jewels do? They sparkle and shine! They have properties that are different than a stone so they stand out.” I thought this was the coolest thing! I had never before made that correlation until God told me yesterday. He often calls me His precious jewel and I often hear how I sparkle, yet I never tied the two together.

God has been speaking and He wants us to Shine! He wants you to be the light for those lost in the dark. Remember who you are and whose you are. Walk out in the authority He has given you. Be the light for those blinded by the darkness. He has called you. Can you hear Him? Will you answer? I don’t know about you, but I choose to be a jewel amongst the rocks! Set apart from the rest – You are called! Arise and Shine! This is His call. Take the leap of faith and each day say yes to God.

Remember You are Fearfully Made
