Philippians 2:14-15 (NKJV) 14 Do all things without complaining and disputing, 15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world…<\/p>\n
As God’s children, we are to shine like lights in the world. We are to reflect the light and the love of God like mirrors, projecting them onto those around us.<\/p>\n
It’s not easy. The world has become a perverse place, overrun with so much evil that it almost seems that evil has overtaken good.<\/p>\n
But God has given us the key to being those lights in a dark world, telling us to do all things without complaining (grumbling) or disputing (arguing).<\/p>\n
By this simple act of holding our tongue and not complaining or arguing, we can show God’s light and His love to everyone we come into contact with.<\/p>\n
During this very busy time of year, when so many people are under so much stress, we can touch the lives of those around us just by giving them a smile, a kind hello or a word of encouragement.<\/p>\n
Don’t let the Christmas lights be the only things shining during this season. We should be shining even brighter!<\/p>\n
