Saturday's Stop and Reflect ~ Psalm 119:105-112

Image
It's that time again. We are wrapping up another great week in God's word. It's officially summer, so I hope everyone is having a blast. Just remember everywhere you go... "LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE!" This week's scripture June 17 - June 23, 2012 Nuggets of Reflection: Let your light shine. It's okay We are a reflection of God's glory. Letting your light shine allows people to see the goodness of Jesus in your heart. Jesus said, "We are the light of the world." Refuse to let anything come between you and God's glory reflecting in your life. Psalms 119:105-112 By your words I can see where I'm going; they throw a beam of light on my dark path. I've committed myself and I'll never turn back from living by your righteous order. Everything's falling apart on me, God; put me together again with your Word. Festoon me with your finest sayings, God; teach me your holy rules. My life...

Feel Free Friday ~ Let Your Light Shine Images

Image
We are almost to the very end of this week's theme ~ "Let Your Light Shine" based on Matthew 5:16. For this Feel Free Friday, I decided to share various images based on "Letting Your Shine". It's cool how each image is different from the other; Yet, they have the same meaning. All images were found through google search. "We need less posturing and more genuine charisma. Charisma was originally a religious term, meaning "of the spirit" or "inspired." It's about letting God's light shine through us. It's about a sparkle in people that money can't buy. It's an invisible energy with visible effects. To let go, to just love, is not to fade into the wallpaper. Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright. We're letting our own light shine.” ~ Marianne Williamson

Wisdom Word Wednesday ~ Proverbs 1:1-7

Image
I t's officially the 3rd edition of Wisdom Word Wednesday. We are continuing this week's theme, "Letting Our Light Shine" based on Matthew 5:16. I am loving this week's theme. We are reflectors of God's light. With that being said, we must make sure nothing comes between us and God's glorious light. Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bond...

Tuesday's Prayer ~ Letting My Light Shine

Image
My Dearest Heavenly Father, You gave your Son Jesus as an example of how we should live as Christians on this earth. Jesus said in John 8:12, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." As a representative of Your precious son, Jesus, I want to let my light shine so that unbelievers will see Your glory reflecting in me. Not only that, I want it to be evidence that you are the Most High and True Living God. Teach me and show me ways that I can be a blessing to others. I do not want to be selfish and keep this light you instilled in me a secret. I want people to know how great and awesome You are. Most importantly, I want them to know that they can be part of a family where there is everlasting life and have a Father that loves you unconditionally despite of all the mistakes you made, your past, where came from, and who you are. I pray this prayer in the mighty and holy name of Jesus. Amen. ...

Manic Monday ~ Light

Image
Singing "Just another Manic Monday!" The weather last weekend was awesome!! My family and I enjoyed as much of it as possible.  For the most part, we just hang out. Now, it's time for our regularly scheduled program. Today's Manic Monday is about light. Matthew 5:16 says that we ought to let our LIGHT shine. The greek word for light in this scripture is: Phos (#5457) ~ the manifestation of God's self-existent life; divine illumination  to reveal and impart life, through Christ. When we let our light shine, we are showing unbelievers that God is real. We are living proof that Jesus died on the cross for us and rose on the third day. Not only that, we should live in a way that is pleasing in God's eyes. According to Ephesians 5:8 -14, we should walk in light. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out...

Sunday's Scripture Reading ~ Matthew 5:16

Image
First, let me start by saying "Happy Father's Day" to all dads out there and to all the single moms who have to be both mom and dad to their children. It's amazing how each week tends to fly by so fast. I am definitely trying my best to keep up. So, let's keep it rolling. This week scripture is..... "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:16) We are representatives of Jesus Christ. We are to be mindful of your actions and words. For one, you never who could be watching you or listening to your conversations. As disciples of Jesus, we can't say one thing and do another when it comes to the word of God. By no means, I am saying that we have to be perfect. We are far from it. However, we must try hard to live according to God's word and let our light shine so that people can see the glory of God reflecting in us. Other Bible Translat...
