I love sharing the love of Christ into others lives.....
I love encouraging....
I love lifting up......
I love testifying to his grace .......
I love watching Christ work through me ,shining his light......
In general, I just love people.......
It's who He has created me to be.
I have found through my trails and tribulations in life, the enemy wants nothing more for me or anyone for that matter, to not shine the light of Jesus.
He does everything he can to snuff our light out.....
By sharing our stories, our failures and mishaps in life gives hope to others......
It portrays the love and work of our daddy God in our lives......
It pulls us up and out of the mire and muck of the world.......
It destroys the plans of the enemy.
But what about the ones who are harden by this world?.....
Those who retreat back into the darkness......
The ones who pretend to care .....
The ones who enjoy stirring strife......
Ones who use your love to sabotage your purpose......
Yes we are to shine into those lives as well....
With wisdom....
Godly wisdom.
Luke 6:28
" bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you"
Wisdom>>>>> By standing in prayer for them.
Matthew 5:44
" But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."
It is through our prayers we can claim victory in their lives.....
Healing.....
Restoration....
Peace....
Joy........
And the love of Christ!
That is how we shine our light in difficult places.
It is not our jobs to fix them.....
Change them......
Criticize them......
or
Judge them.
We lead by example.....With love
Proverbs 10:12
Hate stirs up conflict but love covers over all wrongs.
Light shining can be difficult, but is is not impossible.

Hi Stacey, great advice when sharing Christ with others. I've been reading the book Jesus > Religion by Jefferson Bethke. Really points out a lot of our bad habits when sharing or being Christians in the lives of others. Great post my friend
