“In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.“
John 1:4-5 NIV
One of the most difficult things for many of us is being different from our surroundings
When the reason we are different is rooted in God we can be sure we are standing on solid ground
None of us is equipped to judge the actions and behaviors of others
When we are confused or lack understanding that is a time to pray, listen and learn
It is hard to be different yet God created each of us to be unique so that together we could build community and use our gifts to strengthen the body of Christ
I pray we all seek to learn how God wants us to use our gifts each day and shine the Light of Christ into this dark world
“For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.”
2 Corinthians 4:6 NIV
