Blinded By the Light

   Have you ever been in your house, your place of work or somewhere else dark during the day? I'm sure you have. Then, for some reason or another you need to go outside to do something. How does it look outside? It's really bright, to the point of you are squinting. Then, as you are outside for a bit you get used to the light. Everything finally seems commonplace and normal.
   This is just like our Christian walk. We come out of our darkness and sin and we are overwhelmed by the light because it's new. We like the light, in fact we love it. We are on fire for God. We want to spread the good news. Then, as time goes on, we start to get used to the light. We stop telling others about God. We start thinking we know all there is to know about God. We start only thinking of ourselves.
   If our jobs were done on earth God would've taken us away. He has us here for a reason and wants us to grow in him. We need to let our lights shine for him. Once we come out of the darkness we give off his light. I don't know about you, but I want my light to shine bright for him. I don't just want it to be dull, that doesn't make a difference for the kingdom at all. We must tell others about what Jesus has done for them so that as many as possible can come to the kingdom.
   So, has the light become commonplace for you? Is your light becoming dim? What can you do to let your light shine for God?
