John 8:12 (NKJV) 12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
What have we been called to do as God’s children? Shine bright!
When we are on the right path, shining is easy. But what if we slip up?
And just let me say, we do slip sometimes.
Can we lose our shine forever?
When we are messing with the wrong thing, we can definitely dull that shine. The light that is in us will be unnoticeable. It will be tainted with sin. And sin is dark.
If we are following Jesus, we have the Light of life living in us. This Light of life is what causes us to shine. We have to be the one to make a conscious effort to keep that light shining by doing the right things.
If we are hesitant in our decision, it can be very easy for the enemy to push the wrong things on us, and we will fall for it and find ourselves thinking, “what did I just do?”.
We have to know quickly in our hearts, and then turn from or resist the devil with the help of the Holy Spirit.
James 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Maybe we have made some wrong decisions in our life and we are paying for it big time. But that does not mean we need to stay there.
We can come back up and gain respect and trust when we decide we will try our best to do what’s right next time around.
If we take the steps to repent and follow Jesus Christ, His light of life in us will shine again! Amen.
