EXHORTATION according to the BOOK OF LIFE
Verse to meditate on
“The way of life you received from your ancestors was pointless. But you know that God paid a great price to free you from that way of life. He did not do it with things that perish, like gold or silver. But he freed you with the precious blood of Christ, who is like a lamb without blemish or spot.”
1 Peter 1:18-19 NIV
ALLOW THE LORD TO MANIFEST HIMSELF THROUGH YOU🕯️
The Word declares that “God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him. Male and female he created him.” (Genesis 1:27) We are all made in the image of God. This means that each of us carries within us the divine light. This light is what makes people feel good in our presence. It is also what positively impacts the ow. Or, it is what gives those around us a glimpse of the Lord's love.
Perhaps you have ever admired a full moon and thought to yourself that it shines and is magnificent? In reality, that's not entirely true... Indeed, the moon does not shine on its own. It does not have the capacity to produce light. It only reflects the sun's, which is much more powerful. You and I are like the moon. We do not have this capacity to produce light on our own. The Bible clearly says that we are the light of the world, called to shine... only we shine because Christ lives in us. Christ is the source of our light.
Know that you were created and chosen to proclaim the Good News. To manifest the values of the kingdom of God. To bring love and a life that glorifies and honors the name of Jesus. Jesus wants to touch and transform lives, and He wants to do it through you! So submit to the Lord and learn. Yes, learn to live according to His nature. Not by your own strength, but by His Spirit who lives within you!
No one else can do what you do or be who you are. That's why the world needs you, right where you are. Jesus thinks highly of you. He doesn't underestimate you or consider you less important. Jesus trusts you, which is why He entrusts you with this mission. Your divine spark makes you unique. To do good and lead to Christ all those who need Him. So shine with His light and let God bless those in need through you.
Jesus’ beloved!
AMEN & AMEN 🙏🏾🙏🏾!!
