The World is Dark...and your light of Christ shines brightly...unless you close your blinds, every one passing through your life will see that light..
Are you closing the blinds? What keeps you hiding? Fear? Doubt? Uncertainty?
I have a wood sign at my door that says, " To all religous solicitors: this we believes in savation by grace, works by Faith, you want to know about the one true God..ring my bell"
I never expected anyone to "ring my bell" But they did. And when I answered the door the girl standing there with her friend and their "bible" to share thier religion..said, " I want to know about your one true God" I almost choked...I froze for a split second..then it began...words came with out hesitaiton,scripture flowed..questions were answered and her own religion was questioned..I know she and her friend walked off with doubt, questions and a new purpose...when I closed the door and turned, my daughter was standing there with her mouth open.."How did you know all that?" Truly I felt like I left my body and watch as all that info flowed out of my mouth...I know it was the Holy Spirit who spoke that day...My answer to my daughter was simple..The holy Spirit used everything I ever read in Scripture...He spoke for me...
God brings people to us...we need to have our blinds open..we need to shine our light in the darkness...Gods word needs to be studied, Prayer needs to be said..and the reasons we close the blinds will fade away and we will look forward to those God sends our way...
"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect," 1 Peter 3:15
