Verses: Luke 11 : 33 - 36
My thoughts about the verses:
My partner taught me this wonderful saying that the eyes are the gateway to the soul. If you look into someone’s eyes you can learn a lot. People can hide a lot from people but their eyes cannot hide the truth. Ever since the moment I heard this saying the first thing I look at is someone’s eyes. I can tell when a person is hurting inside. I can tell when someone is hiding something from me. I can also tell when they have great joy in their life.
Eyes are not deceiving if a person truly loves God there is a twinkle that no one can take away. No matter their circumstances they are moving into a much closer relationship to the one that has made them whole. Their eyes show a twinkle of joy even when they are enduring pain and suffering. It is a look of peace that no one can take away from them.
Think about a candle once lit it shines brightly. You cannot hide the light because it is the light of Jesus within you. If you have every been without lights in your home you can appreciate that flashlight or candle that is burning giving you rays of hope. We need to know we will not stumble and fall when we have the light. That you can continue on with your normal day activities with a simple glowing light.
I know that I have experienced the loss of power several times. We are lucky enough to own an older house. One too many lights or appliances on and the breaker are going to let us know. It is fun sitting in light and all of a sudden everything goes dark. The first thing we have to do is find the flashlight which is always in a set location in the house. Then it is off to the outside of the house where our breaker box is located. I often say that it took a genius to put the box on the outside nothing like stumbling around in a rainstorm trying to find the mystery breaker that needs to be turned on. In those moments you appreciate the light from that single beam of the flashlight.
The light within us is what leads people to an understanding of God. I suffer from several debilitating illnesses that strike without warning. Yet, God has given me many ways of coping. I often go to prayer first asking God to take away the pain, the nausea or the dizziness. Then reach out for the medicines that God has helped man to event that solves the issue. When my spell is over, I thank God for giving me peace.
Prayer:
Thank you God for sending the bright shining star into our life. Thank you for being here when we need you most. Dear God we ask that you help us show your love to others. Help us to keep the flame that you ignited in our hearts shining. Let us be a beacon of hope and love to those that see us. We ask that you help us keep the twinkle in our eye that shows other how much we love and depend on you to make our life whole. In the name of the Eternal Flame we pray. Amen
Questions:
Do you let your light shine? Are you willing to share your story with others? Are you willing to face situations because you know that God will provide the way? What do you need to do today to strengthen the light that beams out of your soul to those around you?
