Philippians 2:14-15 (NKJV) 14 Do all things without complaining and disputing, 15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world…
As God’s children, we are to shine like lights in the world. We are to reflect the light and the love of God like mirrors, projecting them onto those around us.
It’s not easy. The world has become a perverse place, overrun with so much evil that it almost seems that evil has overtaken good.
But God has given us the key to being those lights in a dark world, telling us to do all things without complaining (grumbling) or disputing (arguing).
By this simple act of holding our tongue and not complaining or arguing, we can show God’s light and His love to everyone we come into contact with.
During this very busy time of year, when so many people are under so much stress, we can touch the lives of those around us just by giving them a smile, a kind hello or a word of encouragement.
Don’t let the Christmas lights be the only things shining during this season. We should be shining even brighter!
