Hey there pretty girl!
Has anyone told you today how amazing you are? God has put a light in you that no one can put out. When God said, “Let there be light,” He wasn’t just talking about the sun!
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” -Matthew 5: 14-16
We are called to share our light with the world! We are overflowing with His love and His grace, and He wants us to pass it on! We are a chosen people; to be chosen means to be specifically picked for a certain task or to make a great change. Kingdom work creates MAJOR change! Imagine spreading the good news to all God’s creation, and leading them to a relationship with God! This doesn’t mean you always have to evangelize; even a small act of kindness truly goes a long way! One of the best ways to make change is to lead with kindness and love. Giving someone a genuine smile, holding the door open, even a compliment can turn somebody’s whole day around. We must never let the evil one convince us that we aren’t capable enough to do so. Light will always triumph over darkness, every single time, and darkness will never mask that light.
“God says, ‘Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you and set you apart.’” -Jeremiah 1:5
You were not made by accident. God knew exactly what He was doing. He attached a purpose to your spirit, a plan for greatness, a plan to be different, and empowered by that difference! That is your light! Nowadays, being called “different” feels like an insult. We crave so badly to be admired, to fit in. We have everyone’s highlights at our fingertips, which can be a gateway to jealousy, insecurity, and even self pity. These are not from God. These are tricks to dim your light, but take heart! He set you apart from the very beginning. Being different was attached to your God-given purpose all along.
One day during my quiet time, I was praying to God about how I felt so out of place in the world. I always felt like the odd one out, and I felt very different from the community I was in, like I didn’t belong because I wasn’t like them. God comforted me in that moment and gave me a piece of advice that may as well be my life motto at this point. He said to me, “Let my light shine through you, so that everyone who sees you will see me.” These words are SO important. There is a piece of the Father in all of us, and we can show the world a glimpse of His goodness through what He is doing in our lives! He is our light!
So please sister, what I want you to take away from this is:
1) There is a special light in you that will never burn out.
2) You have the power to help others through Jesus.
3) You are CHOSEN. You are DIFFERENT. You are LOVED.
Please never let anyone or anything dim your God-given light. It was given with purpose, with love that only the Father can provide. It is so special, so unique, so POWERFUL! And in times of darkness, remember that the light will never shy away from the dark! You are a temple of the Holy Spirit, and you can do anything with Him on your side! You may be the only bible anyone ever reads. So today I encourage you to do an act of kindness, big or small, and let that light shine through you girl! You are a Kingdom Worker! God bless you!
