Well..life has been good lately. God is just so good in how He always teaches us things, though we may not understand what we are going through in the beginning, there is always a way to see and gain knowledge. God has really been convicting me about what it means to be a Christian..everyday. I heard a really good quote the other night from a speaker that we had that will stick with me forever. He said something along the lines, "We are either growing or dieing, there is no middle grounds". That is so true! I want to grow more and more everyday! I dont want what i have to go to waste. I want to take everyday and use it as an opportunity to minister to someone in someway, get better at my talents, and just show love to people. It is so encouraging to know that this place is so temperary. That if we are saved according to the gospel, we are going to heaven, where there are no more tears, suffering, and pain. Sometimes i forget that promise from God, but i have been reminded of the great gift that God has given us, eternal life! So our job, as Christians, (Christ followers), is to be the salt in the world, shine His light and love for all to see, and lead people to the cross so they can experience the same beautiful gift.
Matthew 5:14-16
14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither 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. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
God is so good! And we are called as followers to shine the light and love. So, how will you shine the light in the darkness?
