John 3:20-21

The New Birth

 ²⁰ For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. ²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

2 Thessalonians 2:13-14

 Stand Fast

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, ¹⁴ to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  

1 Peter 2:9-10

The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People

⁹ But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; ¹⁰ who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

We need to shine bright for our Lord! His son, Jesus Christ, sacrificed his all for us, for our redemption as His Father watched! This is what gives us worth, Jesus' life which was sacrificed for us and in turn we need to shine bright for our Lord. We need to glorify the Lord, rejoice in Him for He has done mighty and great things for us. We are the children of God in a world of darkness and we need to minister His word and shine bright for Him. God has entrusted us to  be the shining light for His son, Jesus Christ! Let's not forget to practice peace as Jesus Christ is peace. Start each new day with our Lord and pray. With this you will practice peace and when unrest or discouragement is at your door you will not be easily upset as you will have the armor of God on. 


Remember to keep your light shining in the name of the Lord and live peacefully with each other. God bless you!
