We should be radiant

We all know those people that look as if their face would break if they smiled. I mean, they are so stoic that you wouldn't know they had any emotion at all if they didn't get red-faced. Some of these folks are Christians. Now, what kind of witness is it to others if you are a Christian and not happy about it?

Little story...Trish had to go for some pre-admission testing for some surgery she will be having next Tuesday. The hospital we went to is of a different faith than ours, and one of their standard questions is what faith are you. I told the lady that we were Protestants, Baptists to be exact, Southern Baptist to be specific. I am proud to be a Southern Baptist. Some may try to shy away from that but I know my SAVIOR, and He couldn't care less about religion. What He does want is a personal relationship. And, if you have that personal relationship, you should be happy about it.

Today's word is Psalm 34:5, NIV, which reads, "Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame."

We have the One True GOD on our side. When we look to Him, it should cause us to shine. When we shine, we should shine like a light in this dark and cold and lost world. Contrary to what the media may try to tell you, it is okay to be a Christian! Don't be ashamed of it; GOD removes all shame. Let's let the world see us shine.

Be Blessed,
