I often have moments were I can relate something very normal to something very deep and meaningful.
Today I realised that these simple lanterns hanging in my room were like uniting Christians.
This analogy and thought came from the verses in Matthew 5:14-16
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
In other words, we should be proud of our faith. We should let our light shine! Not hide it or be ashamed of it. We should let people see our good deeds so that we may glorify our Father in heaven.
These lanterns are joined so that they can work together to create an even bigger shine in my room. Just like Christians around the world are joined through their faith. Together we must let our light shine before others.
Stay strong,
Alex ❤
