| my tea lights in the kitchen |
I love lighting up tea lights in our home. The moment I get up and prepare sandwiches for my husband's and child's lunch, I get a delight watching even a tiny light lit up our kitchen in the early morning hours or at mealtimes.
I love that a small ray of light can truly illuminate the dark corners of that particular room. We are called to be the "light of this world" as believers. I have that tendency sometimes to hide my light, I think. Like when I get quiet when I should speak. Or at work, when I go with the flow [not good!]. Or go back to old habits that extinguish this light.
Oh Lord, forgive me for my sins. Forgive me for not reflecting your Light the way You want me to. Forgive me for those times that I don't explain Your Light to others who have never seen it before. Help me have the eyes to see the needs of others. Strengthen me Oh Lord and that I pray also for all believers. So that we may continue to always be burning strongly for Your light to be seen in those dark areas of this world. For those who are still living in the dark, that they won't have fear to step into Your light and be exposed into Your light and turn away from any dark deeds. Thank You Lord for Your forgiveness, for Your unfathomable love, mercy and grace. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Rosel,
ReplyDeleteI too pray for boldness and honestly to not be ashamed when it comes time to answer for what I believe in and the faith that I share. May God allow many more opportunities to share my faith with others I meet everywhere.

I also hide my faith. Sometimes I think it is because I don't understand all the "bad" stuff that is going on in my families life. Bu
ReplyDeleteI love your tea lights!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the children's song "This Little Light of Mine" that we used to teach the children. But it's a good reminder of the Matthew passage of which you wrote. We are not to hide His light. There have been times when I've not spoken up or acted just like everybody else. I pray that as I mature and grow in my faith, that would happen less and less.
He is the light of my life and I am not ashamed of the Gospel.
Beautiful post Rosel!
Blessings and love,

I love the beautiful way your light shines sis.
ReplyDeleteWhen we open ourselves to Him, His light shines through!
ReplyDeleteI love tea lights as well :)
Blessings,

Gosh when I read your typical posts it sounds so much like you DO let Him shine through you. But I guess we all fall sometimes; I'm sure grateful for God's grace, mercy and forgiveness.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful, Dear, thank you ~ Sweet blessings, my friend
ReplyDeleteI am getting better in sharing about my faith. Not always easy. I think tea lights are very pretty by the way. Blessings to you Rosel.
ReplyDeleteIt's my heart to share but sure can use a dose of boldness at times. I realize I miss opportunites but believe our light shines in quietness..
ReplyDeletePrecious Friend and Sister,
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing you are to me and all who know you. You are a shining light for Him in my little part of the world and I thank Him for the gift of you and our paths crossing.
Love you so much.

Rosel,
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen must look lovely in the early morning darkness with just the tealights being lit! We all seem to misstep at times in our lives when we should speak out and we don't. I think we must just "keep on keeping on" as Paul would say.
Love and Hugs,
Jean
