Our Light

Matthew 6:21-23
"For where your treasure is there your heart will be also.
"The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.
"But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

How we need to be careful of what our eyes and self are exposed to that we can be healthy lights and witnesses to those who are saved and unsaved.....

Let us be bright lights full of healthy light and not darkness for our precious Savior to use.!!

This really hit me today. The little song this little light of mine.... that I sing so often with my kids but yet are we being good lights for the Father...

Also we need to be aware of where our treasure lies. It is easy to figure out when you look at where your time is spent and what is most important to you. You make time for what you put as important. I am at fault with this. I struggle with not putting me first instead of the Lord and my family and marriage. But when we begin to correct my priorities I see the benefit and my heart follows my decision to obey.
It all seems so simple but we need the Lord's awesome strentgh to accomplish this. Simple yet dying to the flesh will be a fight until the end when the Lord takes us home and gives us ultimate victory over ,sin and hell.
Let us strive this year to make sure our treasure is fixed on the Lord Jesus Christ and that are actions follow this path instead of the many distractions the world and bring.

Matthew 11:28-30
"Come to Me, all you who alabor and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
"for My yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Life does not become easy and burdens are not easy to carry... but when you have the Lord jesus then you can allow Him to come and carry them for you and you can rest as a child that has run to his parent to be carried because of fatiuge and weariness. Our father wants to carry us through this life....
His yoke is easy, free and makes the load and heartache of light as He restores and carries us through.
