"Don't shine so others can see you. Shine so that through you others can see Him." C.S. Lewis
When we think of shining so others can see God through us, we usually tend to think of the big things that we might not be able to accomplish. We think that once we rule out all of those big things that we can't do that there is not really anything left. But let me tell you that there so many small things that you can do to let God's light shine through you that you can, in fact, accomplish! In the grocery store parking lot, maybe just returning that cart to the cart return, picking up that plastic bag off of your street, or even just helping someone with the door are all things that let God's light shine through you! So, I encourage you to go out today and do things to let Him shine through you.
Thanks for shedding light on the ways we can radiate the essence of God in the everyday encounters with others. The smaller, less attractive opportunities to be selfless often make the difference in bringing out the difference God makes in living life.
