Light Bulbs

I once wrote about light switches. And compared them to people, inconsistent and unpredictable, but today I write about light bulbs. If it weren't for the light bulb why would we need a switch? We wouldn't, of course. The purpose of a light switch is to turn the light bulb on or off, so it is the switches responsibility whether the light is beaming brightly or turned off leaving nothing but a room full of shadows. We people are the light switches. Our faith is the light bulb. As Christians, we've accepted our Lord and have become attached, a "wire", so to speak, to He who our faith rests. As light switches, we have two options: turn our light on, or off. This is the same for us Christians. So many of us (me) have created a habit in deciding whether or not we want to turn our faith and godly perspective on and off, depending on our mood, circumstance, ect. I don't want to be a light switch. I want to be like Jesus, the light bulb. I want to be lit and stay lit. People need people. People need Jesus. Therefore, people need people who love Jesus to love Jesus no matter what the circumstance, mood, or what the weather may be outside our icy cold windows. People need people. People need to be able to rely, depend, and count on others. I don't mean perfect people. I mean people who rejoice in the love of our God, no-matter-what, allowing His light to be seen and sin exposed. So, my revelation this month is the importance of consistency. Oh, to always be mindful in choosing to rejoice in the love of Jesus, always, always, always.
