Flashlight

You are a chosen people.  You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession.  As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.  1 Peter 2:9


The other day, I tore the house up looking for one of the boys’ old flashlights.  When I finally found it and turned it on, nothing happened because the batteries were long since dead and corroded.

It got me thinking how we are kind of like flashlights in the way that flashlights have the potential to provide light, but without batteries, they are useless.

Like every believer, we all have within us the light of Christ dwelling within us and the potential to shine our light brightly upon others in this dark world to draw them closer to God.

God promises to do amazing things, but only if we will let Him work through us!
