Like Little Children

The Hubs, Little Bit, and I went to grab a bite to eat. That is usually an adventure with all my allergies. We get seated and await our waitress. I glance over the menu trying to find anything I am able to eat. When the waitress arrives, I explain my dilemma. Usually I get a weird look or even an audible “poor girl”. But this lady was amazing. She got me an allergen menu, which few places offer me. After perusing this menu, I finally decide on something and basically piece things together. She was extremely nice and accommodating about it all. 

When our food arrived, Little Bit raised her hand. The Hubs and I looked at each other. We knew what she wanted. A spoon. She prefers to eat with a spoon. We encourage her to ask for it herself. We were sure she was going to look at one of us and ask us to ask for a spoon. The waitress looked at Little Bit.  Little Bit then as confident as ever asked, “may I have a spoon?” The Hubs and I had to pick up our jaws off the table. The waitress said sure and went to grab the spoon. 

 Ow, Little Bit doesn’t talk to just anyone. She still has moments where she will not speak to anyone or around certain people. We were shook to say the least. 

But it didn’t stop there. 

Throughout the rest of the meal, Little Bit started conversations with our waitress. The waitress was so patient. She answered the questions Little Bit asked. 

Since Little Bit was a baby, we have taught her about Jesus and His love for everyone. We have taught her that we love her, but Jesus loves her so much more. This night, Little Bit decided the waitress needed to know this as well. 

Little Bit began asking her if she went to church, if she believed in God, and other questions along this line. I can’t remember all the questions she asked or all the answers that were given. But she became our little evangelist. Unashamedly speaking to our waitress about the love of God. 

I believe we are truly blessed. We have so much to learn from our daughter. She will gladly hand a trac to a person without saying a word. Just a sweet smile. And people readily take it from her and actually look at it. Is it because she is just a cute kid? Maybe, I don’t know. But I do know God is using her. Little Bit will go people and tell them about Jesus. 

We were at her chiropractor one day and she began telling him about church and why he should go. She isn’t embarrassed of Jesus. She isn’t shy with her love of God. She is very open to speaking about Jesus. 

We all can learn from Little Bit. Relationships are important. She built a relationship with our waitress that night and she built one with her chiropractor. Jesus built relationships in His ministry. He had His close friends/disciples...Peter, James, and John. He was also friends with Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. In Matthew 8, Jesus put forth His hand and touched the leper and cleansed him from his leprosy. Jesus met the relationship need of this individual before He ministered to Him. Having leprosy makes you an outcast and Jesus touched him. We have no idea how long it had been since he has last received touch. 

Something else we learn from Little Bit about spreading the love of God is to not be ashamed, not to be embarrassed. 2 Timothy 1 says that God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear,  it of power, love, and a sound mind. Do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord. Ask God to give you courage to talk to others. He will give you what you need to talk to others about God’s love. 

The third, and final, thing I can learn from Little Bit is to be simple. When she tells others about Jesus, she doesn’t use highfalutin words.  She doesn’t give a research paper. She doesn’t give them a thesis paper. She is plain and simple. Jesus loves you. Jesus died on the cross for you. Many times when Jesus spoke to people, He spoke in a language they could understand. That is why He spoke in parables. The people could understand what He was talking about because they could relate to His words, His stories. When Jesus told the parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15, there were shepherds there that understood what it was like to lose a sheep and how it felt to find it again. The people understood. You don’t have to give a sermon to express the love of God. 

I think Little Bit is a reason why Jesus said “Except you be converted, and become as little children, he shall not enter the kingdom of Heaven.” Matthew 18:3. I want to be like Little Bit in this aspect. Have the courage to build those relationships and tell others about Jesus in the simplest way possible so they can understand. This is possible only By God’s Amazing Grace. 

Boring!

 As a family unit, we all have chores to do around the house.  Little Bit is in charge of dishes, the kitty litter, her room, and her laundry.  We pretty much do everything else around the house.  Why do we give her chores? Well, one, it teaches responsibility.  Two, we love her and she loves us, so we should help each other out around the house.  

Usually, Little Bit will do her chores without too much issue.  The problem comes when we have to remind her.  We usually get the response, "Boring! That's no fun!" followed by some grumbling and complaining. We remind her that if she did her chores in a timely manner, she could do the things she wanted to do.  

We also talk about how our attitude affects how we feel about something.  None of us LIKE doing chores. But we do them anyway.  Mommy and Daddy don't grumble and complain when we do our chores.  And we find ways to make them fun!  How?

I like to listen to music and sing while I am doing my chores.  I like to make a game out of them.  If Little Bit and I are doing chores together, we play with each other while working.  I explain to her that chores can be fun if we make them that way.  But we should do all things without grumbling and complaining. Philippians 2:14.

I also remind Little Bit that whatever she does, she needs to do all to the glory of God.  1 Corinthians 10:31 Even chores can be done to the glory of God.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as for the Lord. Colossians 3:23

We remind her of this all the time.  I know we will have to repeat the lesson multiple times. And that is ok.  We love Little Bit and we want her to want to help us.

But Little Bit isn't the only one who needs to learn this lesson.  This does not just apply to chores.  It applies to our daily lives.  Maybe your boss gave you a task that needs to be completed. Do the job as if you are doing it for God, not for man.  

Maybe your wife asks you to pick up something from the store...maybe chocolate? Go to the store without grumbling or complaining.  

Maybe you just have to go to work, but you really need a day off. Whatever you do, do it to the glory of God.  You can honor Him even when you do things you don't want to do.

And find ways to make your tasks enjoyable.  It doesn't have to be boring. 

There are many things we have to do in life that we do not want to do.  There are things that we want to complain about.  But think about how your task could be so different if we approach it with an attitude of praise and glory to God instead.  It really would make a difference.

Today, whatever tasks are on your list, do them for God, not for your boss, parents, spouse, friends.  When you glorify God, you will uplift our fellow man.  This is possible only By God's Amazing Grace.

The Moon's Light

On the fourth day of creation, my true love gave to me the sun, moon, and stars. The sun to rule the day the moon to rule the night.  

It is amazing to be outside during the day and see the sun lighting up the sky, creating shadows, causing flowers to grow.  Even when the day is completely overcast, the sun is still able to peak through creating light. Even on the darkest days, light is still shines.  

Have you ever been outside at night when the moon seems to be right in your backyard?  The color a brilliant orange.  But as the moon gets higher in the sky, it gets smaller and the light whiter?  A beautiful sight.  I enjoy observing the moon. 

The moon goes through different phases.  This is caused by the rotation and position of the moon in the sky.  we have the New, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, waning crescent.  This pattern continues throughout the month, 29 and a half days.  One of my favorite ways to teach the phases or the moon is through oreos.  Take an oreo apart and each one will lose a certain amount of icing. Then of course, you eat all the oreos when you are done! Only at times of a full moon is the whole moon lit up.  The moon only shines where it has collected light from the sun.  The moon does not reflect its own light.  It can only give what it has been given.  So when there is a new moon, the moon has not collected any light from the sun, so it has none to give.  

When you go out at night, look up at the sky.  If there is light coming from the moon, know that it absorbed it from the reflection of the sun and is now reflecting it back to you.  

The moon also affects the tides.  There are high tides and low tides.  The gravitational pull of the moon generates tidal force. Wherever the moon is, the water and the earth bulge toward the moon.  This creates a high tide. The low tide is on the opposite side of the earth where the bulge and gravitational pull are not present.  

The moon is very interesting and fun to learn about.  Phases, tides, light, oh my.  The lessons are out of this world!

But there are lessons we can learn about the moon that apply to us as well.  First, we can only reflect the light we are given.  Meaning, we can only share the knowledge we have gained.  Sometimes we learn this knowledge through other people and sometimes we learn it through personal experience.  But we are not able to share knowledge if we never gained that knowledge.  There is a lot of knowledge in this world.  But I believe the most important knowledge is knowledge of Jesus.  Paul even said, "For I am determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." 1 Corinthians 2:2.  Am I saying book knowledge, street knowledge, common sense are not important?  NO, not at all.  I don't even think Paul was saying that.  But Jesus is the most important knowledge to have.  It is life changing knowledge.  If we don't read the Bible, if we don't have a personal relationship with Jesus, the other knowledge means nothing.  I can solve any math problem in my head, but if I don't know Jesus, that knowledge is worthless.  I can have every important date in history memorized, but if I don't know Jesus, who cares.  And I can't share the knowledge of the Gospel if I don't have the knowledge of the Gospel.  I can only reflect the knowledge I have been given.

There are times in our life where we know more.  We are in a better place.  We go through phases.  Sometimes we have so much light to share while others, we find it hard to have any light.  But God is so good!  He works with us where we are.  He gives us understanding when we ask for it.  "The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting; give me understanding, and I shall live."  Psalm 119:144. "Let my cry come near before there, O Lord; give me understanding according to thy word." Psalm 119:169. He will give us understanding if we ask of Him.  Shine the light you have in the phase of life you are in and God will bless that knowledge.  If you don't like a phase you are in, you can change it. 

The last lesson, do you want to draw people closer to you by drawing them closer to God?  Or are you pushing them away?  Are you turning people away from  the Light? Or are you pulling them closer.  God can use you to draw all people unto God.  John 12:32 says, "And I, when I am lifted up from teh earth, will draw all people to myself." We must lift Jesus up, not ourselves.  But we must be approachable.  We don't want to turn others away with our pride, arrogance, self-righteous spirit.  We want them to see Jesus. We shine His light.  Not our own.

Think of the moon.  It is nothing without the sun.  We are nothing without the SON of God.  Share His light.  This is possible only By God's Amazing Grace.

Let's Taco Bout Jesus

 Let's taco bout Jesus! The King of kings is He.  The Lord of Lords supreme. Through all eternity.  The Great I am, The Way, the Truth, the Life, the Door.  Let's taco bout Jesus more and more.  

Everytime I wear this shirt, This song is in my head.  I usually end up singing it all day long.  Which I'm sure starts to annoy those around me. But I enjoy singing and especially about Jesus.

But I have to do more than sing about Jesus.  I have to actually do what the song says.  I need to actually talk about Jesus.  

They say it is not just about talking the talking, but also walking the walk.  But in this instance, it needs to be both.  People need to know about Jesus.  But for people to know about Jesus, we must talk about Him.  

When I am around people, the words that come out of my mouth usually include "my husband this and my husband that."  I like to talk about my husband.  He is the love of my life.  I want others to know about the amazing husband of mine.  

I love my husband beyond words.  But you know, I love Jesus even more.  If I love Jesus more than my husband, than shouldn't the words that come out of my mouth include "my Jesus this and my Jesus that?"

Have you ever thought about your relationship with Jesus?  Why you follow Him?  What you would tell others about Him?  

Jesus was there at creation.  Everything we see is because of Him.  In John 1, we read that In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made."  The flowers, the trees, the animals, us...we are part of His creation.

Jesus was with Abraham when he was tested with his faith.  Would Abraham sacrifice his son just as Jesus would be sacrificed centuries later?  When Isaac asked his father, "Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the Lamb for a burnt offering? ...Abraham said, My son, God will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering." Genesis 22:7 and 8.  Abraham knew that God would provide His one sacrifice.  He would provide Jesus. 

Jesus was with David when he faced Goliath.  In 1 Samuel 17, David offers to fight Goliath.  He chooses to fight without armor and uses only a sling and five stones.  When he approaches Goliath, he said, "Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.  This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand;...that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.  And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands."  Jesus was with David on the battlefield.

Jesus came as a child to live a life like ours.  He had the same nature as you and I.  He had opportunity to sin yet chose not to.  And His whole purpose of coming to the earth was twofold.  One--to sacrifice His life for you and me so we can have eternal life. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.  Two--to show the character of His Father, God.  In John 1verse 14, "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we sw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." And then chapter 7 verse 18, "He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him."  Jesus even tells the disciples in John 14 verse 10, "the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the works."

Jesus will come back again.  In John 14 verses 1-3, Jesus tells us to not let our hearts be troubled.  "in my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."  There will be a second coming. Jesus will come back for us.  We will not have to live in this sinfilled world forever.  He promised we would be with Him.  And that second coming isn't too far away.  Praise the Lord!  We will live eternally with Him.  And it will be soon!

And that is only from the Bible.  That is not even from my personal experience with Him.  So others about Jesus.  Your actions do speak louder than words.  But your words do need to speak as well.  You can do it!  We can do it!  But only By God's Amazing Grace!

  

I Want it Now

Little Bit and I went to the store the other day to buy groceries for Sabbath. Of course we had to go down the clearance aisle because why not. We saw a baby doll set in the aisle. It came with the baby, a bed, stroller, high chair, bath, and other accessories. Not thinking she would take me up on it, 

I told her I’d get it for her if she gave away all of her other toys. She got super excited and said yes! She promised she wouldn’t throw a fit and she’d give away everything. 

I was unsure of this. I began listing off toys that are extremely special to her. Including ones she’s had since she was a baby. Her special Chewy, a stuffed animal we gave her for her first birthday. Elizabeth and Gracie, dolls similar to American Girl Dolls her grandfather got her for Christmas. 

I kept listing off toys I knew she considered special. And yet she still was willing to give away everything for this one toy. 

Of course, I called the Hubs and talked to him. I also had him talk to Little Bit. We decided to not get it and put it back, which made Little Bit sad. 

The problem though is she was only looking at the here and now. She wanted instant gratification. She wasn’t looking ahead to see how it would affect her a week from now, a month from now, or even a year from now.  We know our daughter quite well. We know she would cry her little heart out if she no longer had certain toys. But she was only seeing what was in front of her. She was only seeing what she wanted now. What would make her happy in that exact moment. 

As I was thinking about this experience with our daughter, I was also thinking about humans as a whole and instant gratification. Or as my husband calls it, the microwave generation. We as a human race want what we want and we want it now. We don’t think about the ramifications that may follow. I want to be happy and I want to be happy now. What? You mean I hurt someone’s feelings? I don’t care. I got what I wanted. 

But I think the hardest one is with our relationship with God. We want things now, at this very moment, that we fall into temptation and sin. At the moment, the sin feels good or makes us happy. 

But we don’t think about how we will feel one week, one month, one year, or even an eternity later. Our relationship with Jesus should not be a microwave relationship. It should be more of a slow cooker relationship. 

When we are tempted, we should not think about what we get right now. What would make us happy in this instant. But instead, it should be what would please God? What would make me happy in the long run? What would give me eternal happiness with my Lord and Savior? 

That is the real question. It is not about instant gratification, but eternal salvation and happiness. 

Our choices today affect where we spend eternity. In Heaven with Jesus or eternal death. 

There have been a few challenges on YouTube concerning little kids. The parent puts something tasty in front of the child. The parent tells them to not eat it and then they walk out of the room. The child agonizingly stares at the item. Either a marshmallow, cookie, cupcake, or something like that. Many times the children are not able to maintain self-control and eat the item before the parent comes back. But if the child can wait, they not only get the one item, but they get another for being patient. 

Which child are you like? Do you want the instant deliciousness and eat it or do you wait and receive a greater reward? Do you fall into temptation for an instant reward, satisfaction, or fleeting happiness? Or do you “submit yourselves therefore to God and resist the devil?” James 4:7. James 1:12 says, “blessed is the man that endures the temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him.” 

We can overcome. The reward is greater than whatever temptation or sin lies before us. We only know this life, this pleasure, this happiness. 

But what about Heaven and Jesus? “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9. 

There is a greater reward than we can ever imagine. Yes, greater than that donut. Greater than that one night stand. Greater than that movie. Greater than anything that gives us fleeting happiness. We can spend eternity with Jesus. That reward is greater. Wait on the Lord. Wait on His reward. It is possible Only By God’s Amazing Grace.

 

Asymptotes

 I was teaching my students asymptotes in class. Let me give you a real quick math lesson. An asymptote is present when the equation is a fraction with a variable in both the numerator and denominator. 

There are three different types of asymptotes: vertical, horizontal, and slant. 

A vertical asymptote is when the denominator’s value would equal zero. In the laws of math, you cannot divide by zero. I always tell my students that if you divide by zero, the world will explode and you don’t want to be the reason we all die! So whatever value of x that makes the denominator equal to zero is the vertical asymptote. It is an imaginary vertical line that the graph will never cross because the graph does not exist on that line. With the equation set up as a fraction, there will always be a vertical asymptote. 

But there may or may not be a horizontal asymptote. 

If there is not a horizontal asymptote, there is a slant asymptote. But here is the thing. For these asymptotes, parts of the graph will not cross the asymptote, but other parts will. 

I was explaining all this, and more, to my students.  And one student has a profound idea. God’s laws, commandments, are the vertical asymptote.  God created those laws and He will not break them. He will not lie, kill, steal, break the Sabbath, covet, etc. and He doesn’t want us to break those laws either. 

But the horizontal and slant asymptotes, God can and will cross those lines to save. He is able to perform miracles in contrast to what seems humanly impossible. 

In Exodus 14, God parted the Red Sea for the Israelites to pass through to escape the Egyptians. It seemed the Israelites were literally between a rock and a hard place.  They had nowhere to go. “And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.” 

Joshua asked God to hold the sun still for a day and God did just that. Joshua 10:12-13. “Then spoke Joshua to the Lord...Sun stand thou still upon Gibeon...and the sun stood still.”  

The Philistines captured the Ark of the covenant and placed it in their temple. Their god, Dagon was found fallen, as if bowed down to God. 1 Samuel 5 gives the account of this story. “...Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the Lord. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again...on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord; and the head of Dagon and both his palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold...” I love this story because it also shows God’s sense of humor. 

In 2 Kings 4, we find the story of a widow who was about to lose her sons to repay a debt her late husband owed. Elisha advised her to get as many vessels as possible and pour her small pot of oil into each vessel. The oil did not run out until the last vessel was filled. She then sold them to pay off the debt. “Then she came and told the man. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.” 

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were cast into the fiery furnace for not bowing down to the statue King Nebuchadnezzar had built. Yet not a hair on their bodies were burned in Daniel 3. “He answered and said, 

Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.” 

Jesus was born of a virgin.  Isaiah 7:14 says “Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel.” 

Jesus fed 5000 men, not including men and women with five loaves and two fish. Matthew 14:16-21. “And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.” 

Jesus walked on water. Not only Jesus but Peter as well. Not only did Jesus walk on water, but He walked on water during a storm.  And then calmed said storm.  Matthew 14:24-31. “And He said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.” 

In Acts chapter 12, Herod killed James, the brother of John, and to please the Jews, he arrested Peter with all intents to kill him. He was guarded by 16 soldiers. That night, while his church family prayed for him, 

Peter’s chains fell off of him and he walked out of the prison, past all 16 guards and out of locked iron gates. “And Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent His angel, 

and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.” 

And what about Lazarus? In John 11 we find the story of a dead Lazarus. After being dead for four days, Jesus raised him back to life. The Hellenistic view influenced the Jewish thought that the souls of a dead person hung around for three days. But by Jesus waiting four days, He dismissed this thought from their minds and put their minds on the glory of God. Speaking to the disciples, Jesus said, “...Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of his sleep...And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent he may believe...” 

There are so many horizontal asymptotes in the Bible. Where God went against what seemed humanly possible to save someone. He continues to do such things today. 

He has sent angels to protect drivers on the road when there was no rhyme or reason an accident didn’t occur. People have been dead only to come back to life with no medical reason. Similar to that of John Smith from the movie based on his story, Breakthrough. The miracles He has done go beyond what we ever deem possible. But because He is God, He created the world, He is able to control the natural world to save you and me. He is able to cross those lines that seem impossible to cross. He created the asymptote, He can cross it. “He is a personal God who loves us and who interacts with us. 

He is a God of miracles who, through using natural laws, is not bound by those laws and who can transcend those laws when He wills.”  He created the sun, He can make it stand still. He created the water, He can walk on it. He created life, He can give it back. He created you and He will do what it takes to save you, including controlling the nature He created. 

It is possible only By God’s Amazing Grace. 

Glow Sticks

Glow sticks can be great fun. They are great for playing tag at night. If you have never played tag while wearing glow sticks, are you even living?  I see glow sticks more often on holidays like Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve. I guess those would be times when people are outside after dark. Makes sense. 

Little Bit enjoys glow sticks. She likes to break them and watch the glowing, especially when it is dark. She is not a fan of the dark. Honestly, I don’t blame her. But the light from a glow stick helps her to enjoy something she does not like. 

Whenever we go some place that has the glow sticks for sale, she will ask for some. Sometimes we say no. But this time, we obliged. The glow sticks have been in the house for a few weeks with minimal mention of them. She did ask me the other if I had seen them. I knew where they were and I told her such. But I also told her I didn’t want her playing with them at that moment. 

But what good have the glow sticks been while in the package? What purpose have they served? None obviously. What if I gave Little Bit the glow sticks, but she did not break them? They would not serve their intended purpose. I’m sure she would still find ways to have fun with them. 

But the moment she breaks them, they begin to serve their intended purpose. They emit light. Not just any light, but glowing light. Unfortunately the light does not last long. After some time, the light begins to dim until it has gone completely out. It is then thrown to the side, it’s purpose fulfilled but no longer applicable. 

I think of Psalm 119:105, “They word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” The Word of God is able to light out path. But we have to break it open. If it sits on a shelf unread, it is not serving its intended purpose. Sure it can look nice on that shelf. Sure people can think what good Christians you are because you own a Bible. But looks can be deceiving. The Bible needs to bred, to be studied, to receive the light that is emitted from it. And it is not just any light. It is a glowing light. 

In Exodus chapter 34, God calls Moses up to the mountain with Him. In verse 28 and 29 it says, “And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments. And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shown while he talked with him.” Moses spent time with the author, the One who inspired the Bible, and his face became a glow stick. The people couldn’t even look at him. Moses had to put a veil over his face. 

Here’s the thing, just like a glow stick, the light begins to dim the further we are removed from God’s word. We must continually read and study to receive the light that is emitted. Our paths cannot be lit if we don’t break open our Bibles and use it for its intended purpose. 

Eventually the light of the glow stick will fade. Eventually it will be nothing but rubbish. Without God’s word, our lives become rubbish. Open your Bible. Read the inspired word. Share the light. Your light will not go out if you continually break open the book.

Don’t be like the glow stick and let the light fade. Keep your path lit. This is possible onlyBy God’s Amazing Grace.
