so i have a friend....not a good friend but a friend. and he knows the bible just doesnt live a lot of it. at all....and i have been feeling lately like i am supposed to talk to him about it. so tonite i asked God to make it completely obvious to me. and he told me to turn my music off...something that rarely happens. and this is what he shared with me.
we are the light right?? Well Jesus is the light, but we have Jesus in us, therefore we are the light to the world. ive heard analogies before but heres what God told me.
Im driving home, there are street lights spread out down the street. as few as there can be while keeping it fairly lit up. now. me driving in my own car, i have my own light. so the street lights dont do much for me. they add extra light but i dont need them. but then God made me think if i didnt have my car, i would be walking. then how thankful am i that there are a few spread out. i would have to use them to get home. what about if you live where there arent street lights. i grew up where there wasnt but we still walked home if we were at a friends, so we would walk a block or so in pitch darkness...but it was fine. a little scary at times but it was fine. a light would have been nice though....
ok. sooo heres the thing. We are the street lights. In our world i dont think there are a lot of us. but when people are walking in darkness and wanting to have that light, they will walk near the lights, they may even stop to use the light, but the lights dont move with you......some people walk in darkness and think light would be nice, but brush it off and keep walking in darkness because it is what they know and they are ok with it, even though they know that light would be good.
sooo. we are called to speak when we are called upon. what do i mean. when people ask questions, we are to speak our hearts. we are not called to turn off our light especially when there are people seeking after that light. :D
so this is what God is calling to me, for this situation. i thought i would share because i enjoyed the lesson. i want to say too, that this is just what God is speaking to be about my situation. :D
gut nacht. im tired and going to bed.

good insight deb, i'm glad you are listening to our Dad, i will never see street lights the same
I enjoyed that myself, Debi . . . insightful . . . isn't it cool the way God reveals his truth?
:D thanks guys....i was sooo tired when i was writing it i thought this sounds dumb but it was awesome for God to teach me in such an easy way for me to understand. lol. pretty freakin sweet!! :D. its cool too how he did it in silence. im not one to sit in the quiet ever really. but when God says music off, you know there is something good coming. haha. :) thanks guys! :)
Hey Debi, I don't have your email address, so I'm attempting to contact you this way.
Do you happen to have a picture of that old gypsy woman that was hanging around the outreach in Frankfurt? If so, would you mind emailing it to timmeredith59@sbcglobal.net so I can use it on my blog?
Thanks either way!
Nice analogy, but lets not forget what the Bible says.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God."
The key is men LOVE darkeness rather than light and will Not come into the light.
So unless God is doing something in their heart they will never come to the light because they hate the light.
So pray, pray and pray more that God will change their hearts.
