What Makes The Difference?

What is the difference between you and those around you?   Do people realize that you are different?   Not because you are trying to separate yourself and make yourself seem different....but because there is a light that shines forth from you.

Shine means to "reflect".   Meaning it is coming from another source.   It is not something that is coming from you.   One definition of "reflect" means to embody or represent in a faithful or appropriate way.    Is the light of God reflecting from you and allowing others to "see" that there is something different about you?

Your salvation is not something that you have to broadcast.   In other words, you should not have to make an announcement that you are saved.    The Bible says that you are to be a "living epistle"......and open book to be read by all men.   Many times we don't want to be an open book because there are things we are hiding that are not God qualities.  

It's time to clean out the old ..... any and all things that are not lining up with God's will, plan, and purpose for your life.   So that when others look at you....they see God shine through you.   So that others are able to look at your life and see a true representation of who God is.   So that others can read your "story" and see the faithfulness of God.

God is faithful and He is ready to use you to fulfill His plan on the earth.   He gave us the Bible to lead us and guide us in the way that we should go.  Now.... He is not only using the Bible....our lives are the "living epistles"......the books that are being read by all men.    What story is being told by "your" life?
