This morning, God showed me something interesting. Those who know me very closely know that I've seen some neat things from God before. Today, I saw many people, spread far apart over a broad landscape. It would be a long walk to any one of them. They were enveloped in a dark, starless night, but each was holding a torch...unlit. Myself included. Then, a fire came out of the sky and ignited the torch I held, lighting the night around me. The others, still far away, looked toward me expectantly.
God's intent here was clear: it's not just "this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine." You don't just let it shine for others to see. You take it TO them. You light their torches too. You don't just obey to receive blessing -- you obey BECAUSE you've been blessed. We've been blessed with a light that others need, whether they know it or not. You don't run to one and pass the torch... You hold onto yours, and light another. And another.
I could keep going, but you'll arrive at deeper conclusions than I can convey here if you just read what's already here.
And besides. Everybody knows I hate blogging. :)
