Our Light Can Still Shine...Thursday

10/15/15

Life can be a series of falls for any number of reasons. It is the human experience. We learn to walk and we fall down. This goes on and on...the fall off the bicycle, the inline roller skates, off a sled in the snow. These are some of the physical short comings that cause us to fall. Most of the time we just get up, and ten minutes later we forget that we have fallen

There are emotional, judgement errors, and spiritual causes of  tumbles. They are more serious and have more lasting effects. They are harder to let go. These are the things that our enemy uses to torment us and to make us loose hope. The time we cheated on a test and got caught, when we got distracted at the pool when we were watching our little sister and she drowned, or when we turned away from God for letting this happen are just three examples or this kind of fall.  

The point that should be considered is that it is never too late, in spite of these catastrophic plunges ...physical. emotional, judgmental, or spiritual do not have to be the undoing of our value as a  worthwhile person.

Consider Joni Erikson Tada whose fall into a pool left her completely paralized. She did not just shut down and give up. She has written books, and to paint with a brush in her mouth. This is how we can continue to let our light shine in spite of all our falls.

It is possible to let your light shine regardless of the plummets of life when you fall but our God is always there to redeem us and make a lighthouse out of our lives if let Him in to work with us.
