let’s talk

lately i’ve saw so much negativity in the world and I know you have too… sometimes it can be so discouraging. as followers of Christ we are called to be a light to the world (Matthew 5:16), but what does that even mean?

we, of course, are called to spread His word, but being a light also means living as Jesus would. our whole goal is to be “like Jesus” and that means to love, show kindness, demonstrate self-control, be joyful, show patience, faithfulness, peace, goodness, and gentleness (aka the fruit of the spirit !!) Galatians 5:22-23

now, i’m not saying not to stand up for Him because Jesus would always stand for what His word says, what I am saying is what I told my friend; if you touch it, touch it with love. i know you’ve heard this before, but you may be the only bible some “read” so make sure you’re being a good example of who He is!

next time you go to make a comment, video, or post ask “am I being a light to others or am I fueling a fire?” as Christians we have the power to show so many who He is with just our reactions to things. don’t get heated but be kind to those who you may disagree with. God reminds us to check our own hearts first. “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.”- Matthew 7:1-5. He is the one who can truly change hearts so PRAY, LOVE, AND BE A LIGHT🤍
