LET THE SON SHINE

It's was so gray and cold outside driving to work today. There are some mornings that the sun is so bright that it's hard to see, but sunshine always makes you feel better. Then there are those mornings that the sun is trying to shine, but there are a lot of clouds that keep it from shining bright.

This morning as I was driving, it reminded me of how our lives must be sometimes. When we are not living the way that we should and have a lot of junk (sin) in our lives, the "Son" doesn't shine through us. There are those times that the "Son" wants to shine through us, but our lives are cloudy with worry, bitterness, unforgiveness or other sins. When we have days that we are focused on God and we are praying and honoring Him and our lives are full of praise, the "Son" does shine bright and all who are around will see Him through us.

As we start each day, let us remember to let people see who Jesus is by our thoughts, by our words, and by our actions and see that there is something different about us. As we bring honor to Him in all that we do or say, not only will our lives be changed, but other lives will be changed also.

Ooooo.....good one! I'm SOOO ready for sunshine and warmer weather. No excuse for not letting the SON shine though. I'm so glad you're writing!
