Let your faith shine through

I am sure many of you were like me this morning – really just wanting to sleep in and listen to the rain.  Also, to make matters worse.  It was a Monday.  To even complicate matters further it was the first day for teachers and parents to start getting their kids up early for school.  Ok – so it doesn’t start until Wednesday but none the less it was a morning to just say —- blah!!

However, my challenge to you this morning is to let your faith shine through the rainy clouds that can get you down.  We have all been encouraged to share our faith with our friends, co-workers, and family members over the last few weeks so my challenge is simple – let your faith shine through.

A song by one of my favorite bands, Third Day, says that a city on a hill cannot be hidden and that light will shine for all to see.  Let your light shine.  Go to work with a happy smile and watch the reaction you get from your co-workers.  Show up to school on Wednesday smiling, and watch your friends give you a strange look.  Then you have an opening to let your faith shine by telling them why they are so happy.  By telling them the great news of Jesus. 

Be encouraged this week to let your faith shine through and see how God blesses that faithfulness.
