Let your Light Shine

 

Let your Light Shine

God tells us to let our light shine before others. He wants others to recognize him in all that we do. Do people know that you are a Christian? Can they tell by the way that you act, the way that you treat them? If I would ask 5 random people who crossed your path today from running errands all the way to your coworkers and family members, what would they say about your actions?
Can people see God through you?
Matthew 5
15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.


PRAYER

Lord, thank you for your word. Your instructions are wise. I know that through me, you can reach many to follow you. Please help me in my moments of weakness, where I am not being my best self to quickly correct my behaviors so that I can better represent you. I know it is my role to let the Holy Spirit who resides in me, to shine brightly for others to witness. In turn, they will want the same. Show me ways I can help others by being the hands and feet of Christ. Strengthen me in my weakness. Give me confidence when I feel unsure. Equip me to move forward when I am scared. I want to represent you well. Pour out your love for me so that it overflows for others. In Jesus name, Amen.
We are better together.
Have a blessed day, Kimala

Wading through Grief

  Wading through Grief The nature of grief seems to spill into other areas of our lives while we attempt to navigate it's shores. We can begin to believe we got a better handle on it, creating boundaries to keep it tucked inside, but it can spread quickly and overtake the lines we draw in the sand. So true. As you stand on its shores, can you see what's ahead? Look for the smallest sparkle of light. God knows your heart. He knows what pains you deeply. He sees you long for what and who you miss so dearly. Recognize your desire to replace the hole that was left inside of you. Fill it with God's goodness and let His love wash over any areas that have left you feeling high and dry. What you thirst for, He has for you. "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."--Psalm 147:3 Soon, you will recognize that grief was a gift He provided to help you swim to the next new shore. New territory can spring forth new beginnings. Yes, it will look and feel different. ...

Our Body is a Temple

  KIMALA'S CORNER Our Body is a Temple Consider this: what have you done for yourself lately regarding your physical self care? Do you actively engage in exercise or strenuous activity to get it moving and burning excess calories? Do you conciously choose healthy eating options and promote good healthcare? Do you make regular appointments for dental and physician routine check ups? Do you take care of your outward appearance regarding your hair, face, skin, nails, etc? How about mental self care? Do you only intake that which would do you well, pondering, contemplating and considering your mental thoughts? Do you carefully screen what you watch, listen to and read? Do you take opportunity to unplug and unwind by resting yourself? How about spiritual self care? Can you consider your time each day with the Lord, reading his word, watching Christian movies, listening to spiritual leaders on Podcast and radio? Are you involved with a ministry or bible study with your church? Are you he...

Exceeding Love

Image
Exceeding Love We cannot comprehend it. This kind of unconditional love. The outpouring from a Savior who would give anything for us--longing to have relationship with you and I. No man or woman walking this Earth can compare or even come close to loving you the way that Jesus does. No one. Today, dig deep inside to fill the hurt, anger, pain, upset, anxiousness, worry or disappointment with the One True God. His love is exceeding--His love is healing. Allow yourself to be filled to measure--what does that mean exactly? Well, in my mind, it means to the tippy top!!!! He loves you that much. "and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."--Ephesians 3:19 We are better together when we are Splashed in the Spirit.
