This thought came to me in the wee hours of the morning : "When His Light doesn't shine in our lives, it's not the fault of the Power Source, but a poor receptacle."
Everything a Christian does influences what people think of Christians and God. We are representatives of God; we reflect Him. The example we show the world demonstrates our relationship with our Power Source. This doesn't mean we will be perfect and never make mistakes but it means that people are looking at u...s to see if He shines through us.

When someone asks us how we're doing, often we say, " I'd be doing good if it wasn't for so and so giving me grief. She is always gossiping about something." What does that say to the inquiring person? It says our Power Source is failing us because we aren't showing His love for others. It's so easy to only see the hurtful things in our life or the little aches and pains, and not see the gifts that we have been given by our Power Source, our Heavenly Father.
"For though once your heart was full of darkness, now it is full of light from the Lord, and your behavior should show it!" Ephesians 5:8 (TLB)
