Lighting Up The Dark

Let's say , you make a survey in your school or workplace regarding how different you are from the rest of your schoolmates or colleuges. And then you realize , majority of them said , you are just like anyone of them. No difference. How would you feel ?

Do you want to be labeled ordinary? Or you want people to have a life-changing encounter even when they first meet you. When we are called ' ordinary ' or ' just-like-anyone ' , that better be the time to wake up from slumber and get some gears kicking.

We are called to light up the dark , to shine in the absence of light. Hence, we must be careful to keep the fire burning or else our light would be snuffed out and we'll be like everyone else. The greatest fear of a Christian should be keeping himself/herself from winds of influence. The fire will grow weaker and the light dimmer when we start lifting our eyes off God and when we do not jealously guard our candles from strong winds.

We are set apart because we know the truth. And we are to share the truth. The basics of sharing lies in the way we live. Living out Jesus is not easy but I have to keep emphasizing this because people are still not listening. People are hearing but not listening. If we have pissed even our own brothers off , what would the world think of us? What first impressions do we give them ? No difference.

Let us really will and desire to be different , and that means putting all your effort in working it out. Attraction lies in the truth being lived out. So start living in Truth !!
