Day 18 "Heaven's Glow From You Abounds"
Heaven’s Glow
Good Morning Beauties!
“You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden. People don’t light a lamp and put it under a basket but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. in the same way, let your light shine before people in such a way that they will see your good actions and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16 (NIV)
Heaven’s glow is Jesus’ light shining through us so the world may see His glory. People are drawn to us because they see His love, light, and hope. People are drawn to Jesus living inside of us.
Are you familiar with the expression, “I can see the light at the end of the tunnel”? This saying refers to a person finding hope in that light when they are surrounded by darkness. The smallest glimmer of light brings massive hope to a desperate person. Have you been this person? How has His light given you hope? What are some examples of these times? Selah.
I love advent - the anticipation of Jesus’ arrival. This first week of advent, we light a purple candle of hope. It is no coincidence that we are reflecting today on the truth that the light of the world dwells inside of us. With this truth comes responsibility to illuminate this dark world with the light of Jesus and bring hope to the hopeless. Are you up for this challenge? Are you through your tunnel and radiating His hope to others? What lies are the enemy using to dim your bright light? Pray these strongholds are revealed and replaced with the love and truth of Jesus. Selah.
Here’s a great anthem to glorify God and declare your purpose. Shine on Beauties!
We Are - Kari Jobe
