It's that time of year again where we put away the winter caps and bring out the summer sunglasses. I'm currently reading 2nd Corinthians, and this verse really caught my eye:
"The god of this age has blinded the eyes the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the Son of God." -2nd Corinthians 4:4 (NIV)
Wow. Sounds pretty realistic right? Before I became a follower, I was spiritually blind. Instead of seeing how great God is and how He loves me so impeccably, I was blocking my eyes and listening to what the media said. I remember mocking people and saying I was a Christian, but not acting like one. But when I was saved my whole outlook on life was changed....there was hope for me! A God in the Heavens loved me and wanted to be with me and grow a relationship with me. And that my friends, is better then any music, magazine, or anything in the world. :D
"For God, who said, "Let light out of the darkness", made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ." -2nd Corinthians 4:6
This verse is so beautiful. When I received Jesus as my Savior, I wanted to be His Light..and I still do. It also makes me think, am I being a light for God or myself? Are my actions glorifying the Heavens or the Earth? I want to be so radical for God that when people see me they will know that I am serving the Lord with all my heart, soul, and mind. So to wrap this up, I don't want to be reflecting the world...I want to be a light for the Heavens by having Christ impact my daily actions and decisions such as dressing more modestly and telling my story to others and even just as simple as listening and caring for others. <3
