Being Light

As Christians we should be as light...
In times of darkness shining bright.
Our love and joy will clearly speak
And strengthen others who are weak.

Jesus working in our hearts
A warming, healing light imparts.
But if at times we tend to grumble,
Then our light may fade or crumble.

Let His joy spill out of you.
To grumbling quickly bid "adieu".
Let your brightness be a sign
So others too will want to "shine".

"Do all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining (against God) and questioning and doubting (among yourselves), that you may show yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish (faultless, unrebukable) in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation - (spiritually) perverted and perverse, among whom you are seen as bright lights - stars or beacons shining out clearly - in the (dark) world."
Philippians 2:14-15 Amplified Bible
