Letting Our Light Shine

Note:  A longer than anticipated oil change kept me from my computer on the 20th. A double slice for you on the 21st, the last day of summer.

Luke 8: 16-18

A Lamp on a Stand

¹⁶ “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. ¹⁷ For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. ¹⁸ Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”

We might think that we have much light to shine on others, but even a little light can help us see a bit more clearly.  Who are we to hold back when we are so blessed?  What we have received is not just for ourselves, but to help the communities in which we live. The more light that comes through our actions and words, the brighter the world around us.  Let us be channels of light to cast away the powers of darkness.
