May 10
The trust the Lord has placed within His people for sharing His love and salvation to lost souls is an awesome one. Our decision to allow the Holy Spirit the liberty to move in and through us carries great portent because the eternal well-being of those whose lives touch ours is directly impacted by our choice.
If we choose to be instruments in His hand for the perpetuation of the gospel of Jesus Christ, we become light to those around us. If we keep the knowledge of the light of the Lord’s unspeakable Gift within ourselves, we become like those in the parable who have lit their candle but hidden it under a bushel. Matthew 5:15.
His desire is to use each blood-washed child of His as reflections of the Light to which we have opened ourselves for the purpose of guiding others into the fullness of His glorious salvation. It is not His intention that we allow our lamp to become covered by the dust of the world and thereby diminish His light within us. In Psalm 69:6, the Word clearly states our responsibility to let His light shine brightly through the vessels of our lives.
Here it says, “Let not those who wait for You O Lord of hosts be put to shame through me; let not those who seek after You be confused or dishonored because of me.” When we have professed Christ and allowed ourselves to become vessels of His light, it is imperative that we allow that light to be clearly reflected through us. We cannot allow our preoccupation with the things of earth to diminish the light of His eternal salvation.
