Shine a Light!

As I was reading today, God lead me to Luke 11. Sometimes scriptures you've read over and over become new to you, when God is trying to show you something!
Luke 11:33-36
"No one when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lamp stand, that those who come in may see the light. The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light."
I love the first part of this scripture! When night falls and we turn lights on throughout the house, do we cover them up with a dark blanket? Or do we hide the lamps under the bed? Why is it we can go on for hours, days, even years, and never share our light that He has lit in us? Who have you shared your light with today, when is the last time you led someone to our Savior, we have a tremendous job as Christians to share this amazing light with those who are sitting quietly in the dark, waiting for that bright light to touch them. I know I never want my light to even flicker, but always shine brightly for Him! Lord, may you always remind me of that, and continue to show me ways that I may shine brighter, especially to those around me. Amen
