While in Honduras over spring break, the women with MRCC and West-Ark Church had a song, a scripture thought and a prayer to end each day. These wonderful women sang beautifully and said the most sincere, encouraging prayers. The following are the scriptures we read together at night.
You are ambassadors, diplomats of the highest rank sent by a sovereign to deliver a message. Why you? So that you might teach the children with words and by example when you are dong what is right & just. Do everything without complaining or arguing. Shine like stars bringing light and joy, showing the way and give a sense of peace to those around you. Do not become weary in doing this. Do not give up. You have so many opportunities to do good to all. Take them, especially taking care of God's family. Live without disturbing others. Your peaceful life will win the respect of outsiders. The quiet voice will be heard. As a church, the way we interact, the way we love and encourage each other; we show God's complex & diverse wisdom to the rulers in the heavenly realms. You are the light of the world. You cannot be hidden, you cannot be extinguished. You will give light and hope to everyone in the house. Let your light shine. LET as is "let the sun shine in." Not make it shine or help it shine. Your light comes from within, the result of a life lived for God with godly attitudes. Be humble put others first. Mourn for the lost, the weak and poor and sick. Be meek & gentle. Show mercy. Have a pure heart. Be a peacemaker. Have a hunger for righteousness. It doesn't matter where you are but it is all about WHO you are. Develop these attitudes and be a city on a hill that cannot be hidden. Where ever you go - let your light so shine that they will see your good works and glorify your father in heaven.
