Be the light
In today’s world it has become more and more important to live in the light of Christ. In a non-stop battle between good and evil in the unseen world it is even more so important that we stand united under God to bring His life giving spirit to those in need.
In need, I mean those in need of Him. This in no easy task, and will not get any easier.
Let us allow God’s light no only to fill our lives today but those around us. It is in this that God truly becomes visible to a blinded world.
Because you are free you can rejoice and be happy, because He died you are alive. Let Jesus be you light and let the Holy Spirit guide you in changing those around you.
(Ephesians 4:29)  Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word a gift.
(Ephesians 4:30)  Don't grieve God. Don't break his heart. His Holy Spirit, moving and breathing in you, is the most intimate part of your life, making you fit for himself. Don't take such a gift for granted.
(Ephesians 4:31)  Make a clean break with all cutting, backbiting, profane talk.
(Ephesians 4:32)  Be gentle with one another, sensitive. Forgive one another as quickly and thoroughly as God in Christ forgave you.
