SHINE YOUR LIGHT!!!

Matthew  5:15 "Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house."

While having a discussion with a friend yesterday, I made a reflection to the fact that God never really said we shouldn't show off our good deeds, what He said in context was not to show them off to men to gain praise and glory from men. He was speaking about the intent not the act. Of course, Jesus did a whole lot of good deeds that were seen of men, and those deeds were documented as well in scriptures, but when He was to be praised for it, He took not the praise, but diverted the praise to God. This shows us that  whatever we do for the impact of others should have God glorified. The scripture above shows that ''no one should really hide his good deeds'', Jesus says ''no man LIGHT a candle and HIDES IT under a bushel'', what does this signify? , "Light" there signifies "Good deeds", because He says in the next verse for "your light to so shine that men MAY SEE your good works and GLORIFY your Father in Heaven". 
    So friend, whenever you do a good or impact others, its okay to allow others see it and be inspired by it, not for your glory but for God's glory. The truth is many of us might really not have been inspired to do some things until we saw others do them, this is why I really don't encourage social media criticizing of charity " show off", I feel its a form of inspiration to others, even though some might do it for their own glory, that's an exception. So cause your good deeds to be seen and others inspired by it so we all can have a better world of good doers. Let your action be for inspiration and God's glory. Do not hide your light!!!😅...Do have a great day ahead friend❤️

Going on to know Him

People easily judge other people when they don't know them. We all may be guilty of this. A Lotta times, we stereotype people by how they look, their dressing and outward mannerisms ever before we hear them speak. I have been shocked many times of how guilty I've been with this. The most recent of such a person I nearly badly stereotyped turned out to be such an incredible person, so different and special in her way and she helped me in many beautiful ways such that we became pretty cool friends in the space of just a few months but this was the same lady I almost thought was way away from my type of friends. We've all made such mistakes so don't look at me that way😶😇. When we were done with the project that brought us together, I offered to take us to an icecream spot- it would probably be the last time we were seeing so it was my way of saying "thanks". There I told her how I had felt about her when I first saw her and she was somewhat unsurprised and sa...
