I was walking home from work tonight chatting with Jesus....He's always available for a good chat. As I approached my house I thought it looked awfully bright. For a moment I thought I had left more than just the one lamp on but I realized I hadn't. Instead, it was just one little lamp casting a big light. And then it hit me; or I should say Jesus hit me. Of course He didn't really hit me, He wouldn't do, more like a nudge. A nudge that said, "See, just one little light can shine really bright. You are like that light. You are just one but you have the opportunity to shine really bright. You have the opportunity to touch so many lives if you open your heart and allow me to shine through you."
And of course He's right. I am just one light but I do have big opportunities to shine brightly. I'm realizing more and more that God has me in public service for a reason....to share His love with the hundreds of people I interact with.....really though, we're all in some form of public service. We all interact with lots of people. So, is your little light shining brightly? Is God's unconditional love passing through you to the lives of those around you? I pray it is for you and for me. Amen.
