Let the light shine!

Have you ever gotten up in the morning, or sat down to lunch, or even sat down in the evening with God and had an amazingly moving experience? Can you remember those times of oneness with Him, when you feel as though you're floating in the air and no longer grounded? I have those and I can say there is no greater feeling than sharing those moments with others.
John 12:35 says, "Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you....."
It's important that those moments whether they come during a morning quiet time, an afternoon devotion or even during worship at church that we share them. It does us no good to have these moving experiences from God and not share with others.
I went to Tara's school on Sunday afternoon for their open house. I ran into several people that spoke to me, but looked at me strangely. One guy who knows Tara well, and me fairly well told Tara he didn't even recognize me. Monday, I returned to the school to drop P.J. off and he stopped and talked to me. He admitted that he is struggling to lose weight and that he was jealous of me and what I had accomplished. I told him it had not been that easy, but that I had just watched very closely my carb and sugar intake and the pounds had slowly melted away.
This brings up 2 questions that go right along with our faith.
1. Why did he want to know about my diet? Because he could see the results, they are positive results that are out in plain sight. Not just something that got cooked up and then kind of set aside. Is your faith in plain sight? Is it out there where people see the light? Or are you just keeping it to yourself so that darkness seemingly surrounds you?
2. Why was he jealous? Because he saw the results and he wanted the same results for himself. Again I ask you, do people want what you have with God? Do you show what your personal relationship with Christ means so strongly that others are jealous and want that for themselves? I hope so.
So make sure your walk is out loud, that people see what an awesome thing we have in a personal relationship with Christ, and they want it.Make them really want it for themselves by the way you carry yourself and share it with others.
Thanks for reading and have an awesome "HUMP DAY!"
