This post I would like to dedicate to... flame. I love taking pictures of fire, something about the color that intrigues me. How it is never still, constantly moving, cutting in and out, so to get the right picture the timing must be perfect.
Yet at the same time, you can always count on some fire to keep you warm, to light your way. Some comforts always resides in even the smallest flame. God tells us in Matthew
5:14-16 "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
During the time this was written a "lamp" would have been a flame. And as God puts it, we ARE His fire, we are the light of the world. We can literally make others glorify God simply by setting a Godly example, and shining our light for Him. And who knows, maybe, if each of our individual flames did our part, we could all explode in a glorious God-centered way that people couldn't help but stare at in amazement!
That's really awesome. I like the last one. :) Makes me think of marshmallows and smoke in my eyes.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed! And thanks for commenting.
ReplyDeleteThose...are...SUPER cool! Awesome job! First one is my favorite. :)
ReplyDeleteand what you said is super encouraging. It reminds of a guy who works at the costco we go to, and it is completely obvious he's a Christian...he just shines. :) I wish more Christians would be like him...I want to be more like him. To let my light shine. :) Thanks for posting that Justin!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that were encouraged! It is incredible to see people like that. I just wonder at how they do it sometimes. May God allow you to shine!
