Father God, let this message touch someone’s heart today in Jesus Precious Name amen.
It reads in Matthew 5:16, the verse states the following: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven .” Although this verse may seem confusing, it is actually pretty self-explanatory. Even though when I was younger I really thought it to be confusing. As we was not to talk to strangers. People say why you smiling. You have no reason to smile. I always worked hard and just want to get the job done. People say you are just showing off. Ah no! I am doing my job. So pretty much why would I shine my light around men. Then as I got older. I didn’t stick to one verse at a time anymore. I read the bible. See you can read bits and pieces of the bible and not totally understand. So in verse 13 & 14 of Matthew chapter 5 it reads: You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, How can it be salty again? So in verse 13 I believe salt heals and stands for righteousness’. Cause the second part of verse 13 it reads: It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. This part of the verse is like sin and how people throw it around like trash and treat people like trash that sin. This is not what Jesus came to the earth for. Jesus came to save the sinner from their sins. In verse 14 it reads: You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. This means that you do right and don’t listen to those remarks that others say to sway you. Keep doing good. Don’t give up. Cause it reads in Matthew 5:15: 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. Yesterday morning as I thought I would like to have my art room back. So I can hang all my paintings.
I took and cleaned out my art room from a person who took it over. I am making it my art room to look beautiful again. To hang all my pictures. Not to do arts and crafts in though. I took a partial wall and corner off a third of the art room. I put a rocking chair, a small lamp stand, a lamp, a bible and my new journal. It is going to be my little prayer room. It looks really good. My prayer closet has become for storage now. But I can breathe better now that it is more open.
“I like the quote from ~ John Bunyan: “Temptations, when we meet them at first, are as the lion that roared upon Samson; but if we overcome them, the next time we see them we shall find a nest of honey within them.”
{Let’s Pray}
Father God of light, life and peace. Before You is a world that is devastated by crime, conflicts, war, suffering, disaster, distress and death of those who don’t know You. Through the actions and attitudes of selfish men and woman. I believe that the light of Jesus Christ would throw light on a dark world that has chosen to turn its back on the One Who is the true Light of the world and Who brings life and love to all who believe. I believe that You will use me in the corner of the world where You have placed me, to bring the light, the life, and the love of Jesus Christ to a hurting world. Keep me ever mindful that without You I can do nothing, but in the strength and power of Your Holy Spirit, I am adapted to act as Your hands, Your feet, and Your heart, to those in need. I believe that the light of Jesus Christ in my heart may shine brightly before men and women, in such a way that they may see the good works that I do in Your power and strength and glorify You. If there is someone out there in this hurting world who needs You that You will guide someone in their life that will carry them through to You so that their light will be passed to others. I am believing for a healed world of people. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
