I'll leave the light on for you (Part III)

As an adult, Jesus attracted attention, just like a light does.

He even had pests (Pharisees and Sadducees) just like the light has. Moths, and bugs are attracted to the light just as much as those who are lost in the dark.

Jesus put up with those pests so that he could minister to those who really need the hope that he had to offer.

If we as Christians can reflect that light, and amplify it with the Power of the Holy Ghost, we too will attract attention.

Have you ever noticed the attention that a Holy Ghost Filled Christian gets? It is amazing at how often I hear Holy Ghost filled men and women comment that people at work or school seem to always find them to talk about their problems. They are being drawn by the light. There is something inside you that draws people to you.

There is a lady who comes in my office to visit her husband, before she leaves she'll stop by my office and talk to me. More than once she has spilled her problems out, told me her sad tales of woe and sordid family history.

Its not me, it's the light that I reflect.

It's happened to many of you, is the light that you reflect. It is JESUS!

Sure and we want to think that it's our pleasant personalities and our wonderful insightful words of wisdom.
