Sun shine / Son shine

It was such a warm sunny day today and it isn't even Spring. We sat out and enjoyed the weather and all the people who were outside. When the weather warms and the sun is shining brightly, people just begin to gravitate to the outdoors. They go out to enjoy with much enthusiasm and excitement the sunshine and nice weather. It reminds me how people who come to the Lord act. When Jesus, who is the light to all the world, comes into our lives we become enthused and excited. Of course the difference between these two illustrations is obvious, those who are excited about the nice weather soon are back in their homes when the weather becomes cold and wet. The Christian on the other hand should be enthused to walk in the light and to have fellowship one with another no matter what the circumstance of their life. We should be the people on this planet that are known as the people of joy and yet something happens to the new and excited believer that causes their joy to wane. Let me remind us that the Light of the Lord never loses it's luster or brilliance. If the enthusiasm and excitement subside in a Christian's life guess with me as to who is causing the light to dim. We can stay in the light and warmth of the sun or go indoors where it dims. We can stay in the Light of the Lord and bask in His warmth and presence or we too can move to a place of darkness. The choice is ours to make. Let's walk in the light as He is in the light, and as we do, we can have fellowship one with another day by day no matter what season of life we are in. Let's all let the Son shine in.
