Hey everyone,
I hope that you are having a good week. It's been a really busy week for me. I know that many of us get caught up in the duties of our lives, and forget to stop and "smell the roses", as they say. Not only that, but we often don't realize how much of an impact that we can make on someone's life. This week I received two hugs in the same day from two people that were thankful for my help. I had no idea that it meant so much to them. It feels so good to know that you have helped someone. It's an even better feeling to know that God has used you as his light. Matthew 5:16 says "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven". This verse highlights the fact that our lives are not about us; they are about God.
Many of us often find ourselves in a rut at our jobs. But, I want to ask you to challenge yourself. Ask God to help you glorify Him in your work place. Aim to assist someone who really needs help, and you will see what it is really about. You will feel happier and motivated to help people see God. I have heard many people say that a smile will often turn a person's day around. I have found this to be very true. You may be having the worst day ever, but someone will smile at you and turn your day around. I believe that this is one of the ways in which the Lord comforts people.
Lastly, when you have received a blessing from God, give him the credit. Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me". This verse highlights the fact that the Lord is the reason for our success. He is the reason why we can run that extra mile after we thought we could never run again. He is the reason why our wounds are healed. He is the reason why we regain our smiles after tragedies have struck us. God... Yes, He is real, and WE are HIS LIGHT :-)
Goodnight
