Shine for Jesus


'Jesus bids us shine with a pure clear light, like a little candle burning in the night........you in your small corner and I in mine. ' (Sunday school song)
As I typed those words, into my mind came everyone of you in your places of love and witness. All striving in Christian love and purpose to make a difference in the lives of others in the name of Jesus.
Sometimes we don't realise that the things we do for others, even though we perceive them at times to be small, make a huge difference.
A kind word.
A useful contact.
A helpful act of kindness.
A prayer.
Remember the parable of the little sparrow?
The horseman riding by on a chilly overcast day stopped at the sight of a sparrow lying on its back in the middle of the road, legs up in the air. He said to the sparrow. 'Why are you lying upside down like that?' He replied, " I heard the heavens are going to fall today.' The horseman laughed. 'And I suppose your spindly legs can hold up the heavens?'

One does what one can.' said the little sparrow.
'Jesus bids us shine with a pure clear light, like a little candle burning in the night......'
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
