Light
By: Kaleigh Hoschar

God sent a man, John the Baptist, to tell about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony. John himself was not the light; he was simply a witness to tell about the light. The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.
John 1:6-9

You are not the light, but simply a witness to tell about the light.

I think sometimes we can get so caught up in responsibility that it cripples our ability to be humble.

There is something about a platform that can lead the best of people into the worst state of arrogance. Whether that platform is lit up by lights or by a computer screen or anything in between, we can easily find ourselves entranced like a moth to a flame.

Even those the Lord has sent (and if you’re saved your sent) fall trap to the nauseating limelight at times.

So what do we do?

We remember who the light is (Spoiler Alert: It’s Jesus).
We remember to show HIS light to others. 
We humble ourselves and serve the widow, the orphan, the poor and the immigrant.
We tell people about Jesus.
We ask Jesus to make us vessels! 
We invite the Lord into our marriages, our friendships, our homes, our jobs.
We ask God to change who we are on the inside so that when we witness to people on the outside….

All. They. See. Is. Him.
