Shine Your Light

"Shine your light and let the whole world see,

We're singin' for the glory of the risen King"

Sing that a couple times.

If you've heard it sung at a ciy by 700+ people, put yourself in that moment...

It's something we take so seriously at ciy and something we carry home with us. "We're gonna show the world who Jesus is." is often said. Now that school is back in session are you hiding your light? Has it dimmed? Look it's reality that the world kinda stinks... It's discouraging when no one wants to see the light, or even acknowledges there is a light. But don't stop. You are not working for the praise of people, but for the praise of God. Who cares if your laughed at for helping a homeless guy? For paying for a friend's lunch who can't afford it even when YOU are tight on money. Who cares if you are ridiculed for sitting next to the girl everyone laughs at? Who cares if you're laughed at for saying "Oh my gosh" or not cursing... You were so determined at one point in time that you were gonna live for Jesus and live to spread the Gospel...So determined to change lives around you. So determined to be a good influence. What is stopping you? Laughter? Judgement?

Take a look at Matthew 10:22 and 2 Timothy 2:22... Get real and let your light shine again. It's incredible the difference you can make by just setting an example and living to the standard Christ calls us to. You can do this.
