BLING is the thing... at least for girlfriends! Anything that sparkles, shines, or catches the light, will spice up your look. We see it everywhere - on our cell phones, purses, clothes and of course, jewelry. There's just something fun about a little glitter or sparkle to brighten our mood or make our day just a little more fun!Do you ever feel like your "bling" may be a bit much - even inappropriate? Good news! God's Word says that a little bling is just what we need! Ephesians 5:8 says, "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light."
Not only is it okay - but it's a command! We are to live as children of light to those around us. Just like our fun accessories, a little sparkle in our lives may show just the right amount of bling to brighten the world around us. A smile, a hug, a kind word to the person who doesn't seem so deserving... forgiveness, encouragement, patience with our family... the examples could go on and on.
No, it's not always easy. In fact, sometimes it's down-right HARD! The good news is, we are not just light, but light in the Lord! We have His power to draw from. If you've accepted Christ into your life, you're no longer living in darkness. What are you doing with purpose and intent to live as children of light today?
