It’s quite simple to be
the Light of Christ
For those caught in Darkness.
…
Smile.
Isaiah 9:4
For the yoke of their burden, and the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian.
Luke 1:78-79
By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Words of Grace For Today
It only takes a smile …
It only takes a smile to express the greatest things in life …
It only takes a smile to express the greatest things in life, which are to know that God has delivered us, and will deliver us,
for God has broken the rod of the oppressor. With tender compassion God has brought light to those who live in darkness and those who live in the shadow of death. God guides our feet (and our whole being) into the way of peace.
It only takes a smile to express thanks to God,
especially when that smile is given freely to strangers in need of hope,
especially when that smile comes flowing from the heart,
especially when that smile is followed by the hand and feet of the body of Christ freeing, and moulding, and assembling all that is needed to provide the basics of life to those who have nothing,
especially when that smile carries a promise that God’s favour is forever and always present in the generous, gracious gifts that share life abundant.
It only takes a smile that flows from the heart to the other person’s heart to say
I love you
and
God loves you.
Free up a smile or two or ten thousand today, add a twinkle from your heart … and make the world bright with hope.
