Before supper we tried to identify the color of the cloth
napkins on the table—navy, charcoal, black? The lights in this dining room
reminded me of the incandescent kind, dim with a yellow tinge. I mentioned that
the lack of bright light could be the problem. My husband donned his headlamp
and we soon knew the true color of the napkins: forest green.
Could we sometimes be guilty of lighting our part of the
world with a dim bulb? Perhaps we politely chitchat with an acquaintance but
fail to offer a pertinent reproof; maybe we satisfy our listeners with a
harrowing story, neglecting to give God the glory for the happy ending.
Sometimes it is not so much what we say, but what we leave out. Every part of
this dark world needs a bright light shining the way to Christ.
Yes, we should all use our words and actions to point out friends and family to Christ. We should also pray daily that their hears be softened, their eyes opened and their ears unstopped so that they can receive the message. 🥰
