Pressing toward the goal:
"Working towards that day when I will finally be all that Christ Jesus saved me for and wants me to be."
Philippians 4:12 (NLT)
Greetings!
Welcome to the year 2012 and welcome back to W2S. In this year I aim to let my light shine in all the areas God desire for me to shine. I would like to encourage you to do the same. As Kurt Carr, in his song: 'Don't Let Your Light Go Out', says:
"When your light touches my light, that's enough light to take away the darkness of the world...together you and I are bright enough to illuminate the world."
Therefore, I'm encouraging you to let your light shine this year, if like me you've allowed the spirit of fear to keep you bound in 2011. Someone is waiting on you to stir up the gifts within you and begin to shine a light into their dark world. God has invested in you the gift(s) necessary to fulfil His purpose in your life. There is no better time than now to begin to shine. "You and I are strong enough to make a difference in the world." Unfortunately, the enemy of our souls doesn't want us to realise the truth, and so we live our lives in doubt and fear. But we were warned of this, in St. John 10:10. Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy. I personally have allowed him to rob me of my joy. But the Scripture verse goes on to say that Jesus came to give life and give it in abundance. So I have purposed in my life to live a more fulfilled life this year and continue to move forward.
I learnt how to claim the Word and activate the power within me to love...to forgive...and to keep praise alive. I learnt that God gave me the spirit of power, of love and a sound mind. I learnt that He gave me the garment of praise to replace the spirit of heaviness. The more I learn of Him and apply His word to my everyday life, the more chains have been broken and the more I am experiencing freedom to live again. I learnt that he who the Son sets free is free indeed. And this is what I am trying to share with you here on Write 2 Shine.
So go-ahead! Start your journey of discovering a deeper, more personal relationship with God this year and allow Him to free you from captivity. Jesus is the truth and knowing the truth will set you free. If you have already found the truth then share it with others, that's how we spread the love. God bless you and thank you visiting W2S.
Your sister in Christ

The Lord is evident in everything I see. My hope is that through your contact with me, you'll see the Lord in me.
