Why are you here?
Not to collect more things.
Not to become an expert.
Not to be happy all the time.
Not to look good all the time.
Not to feel good all the time.
“Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God.”
Philippians 2:14 MSG
You are here to be a light.
A witness.
A glimpse of God living through you.
A glimpse of grace-living.
A breath of fresh love-laced air in the sin-stained world.
That is why you are here.
Don’t get so caught up in yourself or in the present circumstances that you miss your God-empowered purpose for today: SHINE.
My prayer for you is that you are so filled with the Light of Christ and that it spills out of you in every way possible, to every person you meet, in every moment of darkness or discouragement or overwhelming circumstance, in spite of the current crisis, through the present obstacle. May the Light of His Love be uncontainable and contagious through you today.

We are here b/c “GOD so loved the world …” We are NOT here as merely a ‘minion’ to do His bidding!! The fact that we are a “light unto the world” is a BLESSING, not a job! -smh
Well said and so true. I apologize that my words have not communicated this very well. It is not my intention. I am growing and learning and loving. Thank you for being faithful to read and comment on my Just A Minutes.
