Light is described by definition as an illumination; it is a glare, it is an agent that stimulates a path for visibility. MATTHEW 5:16 states to “let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. ” So, let’s start here by taking a good look at what is being said. When in an environment of nonbelievers it can become challenging. It is difficult not to pick up some of the social habits we’ve come to practice as routine. Office gossip, for example-is a traditional habit. Although it is listed in all of the training manuals as a “no, no”- it would not be out of the norm to hear it, participate, and tranferr the information.
Here comes the boom.
There has to be a distinct difference between the children of God and the nonbelievers. It is not that as a believer you are better than anyone else or vice versa…it is the responsibility of those saved to lead by example. Afterall, this would make it a lot easier to lead.others to Christ.
I am most proud of my sister-in law, who has managed this task over the last couple of years. She has taken an approach to stand on the sidelines when it comes to gossip. I would say her light is on ? Is your light on ?
There is more than a slight glare illuminating through the tunnel for me…I’m working strongly from within to eliminate what we do as women so naturally- gossip.
I can humbly appreciate one of the best compliments I ever received, in which a child of God approached me and stated that she could see the face of God through me. Again, I am only a servant-my steps are ordered. This was truly a blessing. Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Psalm 34:13
This is my point, we are suppose to be different, because we are different. Walk.in the spirit, not in the flesh. As a born again Christian I am increasing my illumination. How bout you ?
