Let your light shine!

Since becoming a Christian, God has spoken to me in pictures although this has been often when praying for others. Over the past few weeks I have been asking God to speak to me each day with pictures. I thought I would blog those pictures so that I can share what I believe God is saying to me as well as to others that might read it. 
When closing my eyes I can see a picture of a lightbulb. the light bulb is changed and then switched on. It is bright, but then the bulb is changed again for a brighter bulb, and finally a third time it it changed for an even brighter bulb.
God showed me clearly that these bulbs are our lights. As Christians we are told to, "let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." 
We need to be so close to Christ in our daily walk with him that he changes our lights to shine brighter. 
When we walk closely to Jesus its his light that shines in us. He enables us to stay calm in the difficult situations, he shows us who to pray for, we begin to see others through his eyes and not our own, we feel his love for others and begin to be a blessing for others.
My prayer today is that my light is a bright light shinning for his glory and that those that I meet today will see Jesus in me.
