Shine Week 1 - We were made to Shine.

God doesn’t need eloquence to reach people. He just needs a voice, a life, your voice, your life: with a living, vital connection to Him in prayer.

Luci Swindoll once said: "A friend of mine was caught in an elevator during a power failure. At first, there was momentary panic as all seven strangers talked at once. Then my friend remembered the tiny flashlight he had in his pocket. When he turned it on, the fear dissipated. During the 45 minutes they were stuck together they told jokes, laughed, and even sang. [The Bible] says we are that flashlight. Just as the flashlight draws power from its batteries, we draw power from Jesus. As light, we dissipate fear, bring relief, and lift spirits. We don’t even have to be big to be effective. We just have to be ’on.’"

This is why we were created - To be On. Jesus says, that between the bookends of life, we were created to shine, to make a difference – to add something eternal to our days.

Eph. 2:10 

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
