City Lights

"A city set on a hill cannot be hidden."

Have you ever thought, "I wonder what kind of plan God has for my life?" I have thought that so many times, wondering if God wanted me to be a missionary or if I was somehow missing out on what He had planned for me. Well, I'm not a missionary in Africa, but I contact many people every day. I wonder if they see Jesus in me. Do I shine for Him?

When I was heading to work very early the other morning, I was going over a tall overpass and I thought of Jesus' words, "A city set on a hill cannot be hidden." The lights of the city were everywhere almost as far as I could see. It made me think of all the believers that were being lights right where they are. Are you waiting for God's big plan for your life? We don't have to wait for official "ministry" opportunities for us to be lights. Where does your day lead you? Shine there! Do you deliver chips to a bar? Shine! Do you lead a team? Light their way! Are you surrounded by nurses and doctors? They need the light, too!

GOD CALLED YOU OUT OF YOUR PAST DARKNESS!!!!!

HE WHO HAS BEEN FORGIVEN MUCH LOVES MUCH!!!!!!!!!

Don't wait for the sweet by and by. Invest in today right where you are in those you're around. Run this race like you really want to win it.
