Let your light shine

I'm new to this, so i figured i would start off by writing down the notes that i have done on facebook, that way they're all in the same place :)

Here is note number 1 :)
September 5th 2010

Ok, here's the deal, ive had this song called this little light by LZ7 on like all week and today i just felt like i should write a note on it and just the general aspect of it if that makes sense. i dont know how long this note is going to be or what i'm going to end up talking about but anyway, here goes. :)When I think of the word evangilism, i used to think it meant something for others to do or something thats bigger than i could ever do. Over the past few years i've learnt that thats not what it means. It basically just talking to non-christians about christ. All of us are capable of that. At newday a group of us went into norfolk to do evangilism. We went into the city centre and gave out leaflets to do with the church who were in a way 'hosting' us if that makes sense. Giving out leaflets to people in the town centre i thought was quite scary and i was a bit reluctant to do it at first but then it got a bit easier. It's still hard though, especially if you dont have the right attitude. Trust me, i know and im sure if you ask a lot of christians about this then they'll also tell you that it can be hard. Even if your talking to your non-christian friends about Jesus, that can be hard as well. You have too in a way think that God is on your side and everything will happen in his own perfect timing. No-one can ever rush that. He knows what's best for us. There's a bit in the song that says 'Do you wanna be sent to the nation, are you gonna change your generation, is it gonna be your motivation, all you gotta do is start a conversation...' That pretty much sums it up in my opinion. If you start talking to someone about Jesus then yes they could completely ignore you but at the same time their maybe something that clicks in them that makes them want to know more and ultimatly maybe even lead them to christ. How are people supposed to be led to christ if we dont talk to them about him? When they get to judgement day you dont want them saying 'oh well why didnt (name) ever tell me about god?'. It will be too late by then. I personally do not want that happening to anyone i know and im sure other people agree with me.
We need to shine amongst all the darkness thats in the world. As ebony said the other week, its no use trying to squeeze yourself into a pair of jeans that you know are not going to fit. Theres no use trying to fit into the world when we are not off the world. We are not accountable to man, we are accountable to god. We need to shine so that people can see there is something different about us and then start asking questions. We need to show god's love to people. As far as i'm concernend, its the only way. We need to be an example of christ to others by the way we act and the way we treat others. I could write so much more about this but i think that's long enough for now :)
