Just One Light

   Have you ever felt led or been asked to do something that was out of your comfort zone? I'm sure you have. Did you do it? The answer you gave depends on if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

   Okay, let's tweak the question. You are asked to do something you know is wrong. Do you do it? Before you answer, let's say you are not just asked by one random person. Let's say you are asked to do it by a group of people you know well. People who you want to impress, or that you like. Would you do it?

   The darkness of this world is strong. There are times when it would be so easy to sin and follow the ways of the world. But is that what we should do?

   Picture that you are in a dark room. You are unable to see anything. Then you see a small flicker of light. The light goes out then comes back. It is almost like a match is being lit. Another small light appears beside it. Then another, and another. More appear until you can see light all around the room.

   Each light in that room was small. But if you add each light together it gets the whole room lit. We live in a world filled with sin. But when we let our lights shine, when we choose to follow God and grow in him, people see us reflecting God's glory. They wonder what is different about us. Then, maybe their light will begin to shine for God.

   So, are you choosing light or darkness? How are you growing in God so your light can shine brighter for him? What can you do to show God's light today?
