Jesus is THE light of
the world. Some people have the idea that they are the light. They are bent on
drawing attention to themselves. They get so wrapped up in their
accomplishments and popularity that they forget that they are not the light of
the world. It is so easy to forget that Jesus is our light source.
Any light that we are
able to shed in the world flows from Him. We can do nothing apart from Him. We
are not worthy of the credit we often take for what is done through us. Each of
us is a servant, and nothing more. We live to bring others to Christ who is the
light, not to ourselves or our ministry. Our egos are easily stroked and we
must fight the urge to stroke them.
In order to stay
properly connected to the Light, we must never neglect our connecting times. We
must diligently seek Him out and let Him search us out to make sure that there
is nothing in us that would cause us to take upon ourselves the glory that is
His alone.
Read your Bible
faithfully, spend time in your prayer closet daily, and listen to those who
would warn you of your slipping away from the Lord.
Follow Jesus alone
and you won't be led into the darkness of self-deceit and glory and stumble
your way through life. Live in Christ
and you will see clearly your way to heaven.
