Be a Light in dark places...
When you decide tobe like a light in darkness, when you let God shine out of you and into the bleakness, when you decide on the daily you will be a beacon, remember there will always be detractors. There will be haters. Honestly, there will be a lot of folks who simply do not understand. There will be those who do not believe in your goodness, there are those that won't see beauty, there are those who are determined to be unrepentant not trying to get themselves together sinners, pray for them. There will be those who will try to point out your faults and make you ashamed, pray for them. There will be those who will try to insist that prosperity in all of your life is not possible, it is not what God would want for his people, again I say pray for them.
Being a light is not easy. There is a lot of temptation to try to torture the darkness when all God ask is that you shine brighter. All God asks is that you tell them how you once stood alone in the dark too. All that God asks is that you on the daily live for him and with him in your heart.
To all of us who struggle, sometimes we need a reminder of who and what God is. He is not merely a granter of wishes and hopes, he is the Father, the Master. He is omnipotent, all knowing, all loving, all caring. He is God. He is worthy of your love, respect, and your obedience. He never asked you for perfection, he offers you love and peace. He offers you a way of living a full life filled with hope which will always spring eternal if your faith lies in Him. He speaks to your heart and mind and he disciplines you, and there are some days you will go through but He will never leave you nor forsake you in spite of yourself. I did not say live in church, your friends, or your family. All of those things and people are blessings to have, but your faith and belief in Him trumps them all. He is the purest love around. He is the glory and the grace. This is all God.
Thinking about this humbles me, it reminds me to keep striding towards being true to myself and to step and do what I am instructed to boldly. I will forever keep him on the throne and be his willing servant. I correct myself now when I attempt to sit down in that honored place.
