You Are the Light of the World
There are many in the world today who want nothing to do with the name of Jesus.
Not because of anything He did. But purely because of what Christianity has done.
Today people are proud if the ‘world’ is offended at them for being ‘Christian’. In fact some wear it as a medallion of honour.
How shameful that we have turned what is by its very Nature, a Love message, into a battle axe!
The world needs not our condemnation. It needs Christ’s healing Love.
Repent from this false religious message of judgement and condemnation and preach the Gospel the way God intended, as a message demonstrated in Love.

Do you understand that God is omnipresent, because He created Himself in everything, everywhere.
The entire expanse carries His Fingermark. His Life, Character, Personality and Nature is imprinted in all things.
All things exist, because He exists.
That is why He is wherever we are. Because He created us to be His expression wherever we go.
We are His Presence in expression, because we are in Him, out of Him and He is coded and represented in us.
“You are the Light of the world…”

So many people are waiting for “permission” in life.
The fact that you are here is your Authority to be whoever you were designed to become.
You don’t need anyone’s permission or the need for any man or institution to decide whether you are eligible to do what you were born to do.
You came here equipped. Life has Authorised you.
* * * * * * *
If you are designed by God, who am I, or any other like you (of the same making as you), to decide whether you are acceptable or not?
Do not live intimidated by others and do not take a hint from them as to what you are worth, or whether you are “worthy”.
When people assume themselves to be something, they are merely blinded by pride, believing that external things they decorate their lives with, adds value to who they are.
“Naked you came into the world and naked you shall return from it”.

Be careful how you judge others, for how you judge, you will be judged and the measure of grace you give, the same you will receive.
What does that mean?
It means that you may find yourself in the same predicament of those you judge, because you thought yourself above them in their time of struggling, and then you may experience people judging you, as you judged them!
Love beyond your personal offences and extend grace and peace beyond the faults and flaws of others.
“Love (The choice to Love, rather than to retaliate ) covers a multitude of sin (offences or things perceived as been done wrongly against you).

Everyone is justified when looking from their own perspective.
But what if you humble yourself for a moment and leave your perceived “correctness” to stand in the shoes of the one you accuse?

Sort of flies in the face of “blessed are you if you are hated and reviled for my names sake”. Of course I see the point that some make it hard for anyone to love them, even fellow Christians.
