When you shine with the radiance of Christ

Share the joy.

“Then they said to each other, “We’re not doing right.  This is the day of good news and we are keeping it to ourselves…”

2 Kings 7:9

Share the joys of your life, share the goodness of God in your life… share the magic - the world needs to hear it.  The world needs to know that prayers, hopes, and dreams do come true.   Therefore, share the joy, my friends, it's good, it brings forth light, and most of all, when we share the joy, our God is magnified.

Spread the love of God

"What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim up on the housetops." Matthew 10:27 AMP

When Jesus speaks to you, tell somebody, share his news.  You are a channel for Him to share his good news, his love, his kind words, his encouragement, and your faith.  

So speak when prompted by the Spirit... 
someone needs to hear it.

The healing power of God's love

“Then said the Lord to me, Go again, love [the same] woman [Gomer] who is… an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods…” Hosea 3:1 AMP

Although it can be quite difficult and challenging to do, as children of the Most High, we are called to love the unlovable.  Love them enough to make a difference in their lives; love them enough to break down and destroy the pain that they have let build up inside of them.

You and I have been blessed with the healing power of God’s love, and now we need to share it to others.  So, don’t turn your back, don’t ignore, and don’t avoid someone who is in need of love – you may be the one person that changes their outlook on life; you may be the one person that shows them what love really is.

God has chosen you!

"...God has chosen you to take your place before him to serve in conducting and leading worship - this is your life work; make sure you do it and do it well." +2 Chronicles 29:10-11, +MSG

No, you may not be called to lead worship, but you've been called.  Whatever gifts and talents God has bestowed upon you, (and we all have them), are part of who you are and what you have to offer as worship to our almighty God.  So, share your gifts and talents - they are your life's work; make sure you share them and share them well!

God has more than enough

2 Kings 42One day a man arrived from Baal Shalishah. He brought the man of God twenty loaves of fresh-baked bread from the early harvest, along with a few apples from the orchard. Elisha said, “Pass it around to the people to eat.”43His servant said, “For a hundred men? There’s not nearly enough!” Elisha said, “Just go ahead and do it. God says there’s plenty.”44And sure enough, there was. He passed around what he had—they not only ate, but had leftovers.

When God says there is plenty, and asks you to give, whether it be money, time, food, clothing, love, etc., He will make sure you have more than enough of it to give away! 

Celebrate

“… Celebrate all the good things that God, your God, has given you and your family…” Deuteronomy 26:10-11, The MSG

Everything good in your life comes from God, so everything good in your life should be celebrated, enjoyed and, most definitely, shared with others.

No more burn out!

“… This is no way to go about it.  You’ll burn out…  This is way too much for you – you can’t do this alone…  Keep a sharp eye out for competent men – men who fear God, men of integrity, men who are incorruptible… They will share your load and that will make it easier for you.  If you handle the work this way, you’ll have the strength to carry out whatever God commands you, and the people in their settings will flourish also.”  Exodus 18:17-23, The Message

Some of us aren’t so good at asking for help, which means, some of us are really good at burning out.  Well, life is just too short!  God has a big plan for our lives and burning out is not one of them.  So, next time we feel we have the world packed on our shoulders, let’s start finding good women and men of God to lend a helping hand.  They are out there, and with prayer and patience, we will find them.  Not only that, when we ask for help, we are giving another person a chance to shine in their field, which helps us to shine even brighter in ours, and that is definitely something we can all use more of.

The Holy Spirit says, Come!

"The [Holy] Spirit and the bride say, Come!  And let him who is listening say, Come! And let everyone come who is thirsty; and whoever [earnestly] desires to do it, let him come, take, appropriate, and drink the water of Life without cost." Revelation 22:17

Come to Jesus and truly know what living is all about, in this life and in life eternal with Christ Jesus.

Abiding in love

“… He who does not love abides (remains, is held and kept continually) in [spiritual] death.” 1 John 3:14 AMPC

God is love, and abiding in His love is living, good and God-given living.  Therefore, share your love, express your loves, walk in love, be love, and embrace love.  If you do,  you will experience life and life to the utmost.

On the other hand, if you decide to succumb to hate, the opposite happens: death overtakes your soul, darkness becomes your quality of life, and joy is nowhere to be found.

So, grasp on to Love – grasp on to God - and let the joy of living an abundant life be yours for the taking.
