Glitter…

 Glitter….

Several years ago, a friend and I were working on her son’s wedding  rehearsal dinner…

The decorations were simple, tulle tied on the strings of lights to go down the center of the table…but, not just any tulle, glitter tulle…

We had to finish the knotting of the tulle onto the lights, so we chose to do it in the rental car as that was where we were and we had time… cutting the tulle into certain lengths, we industrially knotted away, proudly finishing the project before placing the lights on the tables…

But, looking around us, on us, was glitter everywhere …it sparkled like jewels in the morning light…I am sure the car rental place never got all the glitter out…but, it added the character of the nice car…giving it a royal effect…

We are to be lights to the world…spreading the light of Jesus wherever we go…giving off His fragrant  love to all we meet…like the glitter we left behind in the car, in our clothes, hair, the floor, the tables, etc….

 “You are the light of the world. 

A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 

Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Matt.5.14-16

 But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.

2Cor.2.14

 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Acts.1.8
