| Dear Young Christian: |
| I notice bumper stickers, and one caught my eye the other day: |
| YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SHINE WHERE YOU CANNOT SPEAK! |
| It made me think of the many Christians in other countries who are not able by law to openly share the gospel with others. But they can shine for Christ by living for Him and reflecting Him in their day-to-day life. |
| Of course, this should be true of all of us no matter what part of the world we live in. We are here to shine for Him. “Ye are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14). “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world” (Philippians 2:15). We may not have many opportunities to speak for Christ this week, but we have every opportunity to shine for Him. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). |
| Your Christian Friend, |

| We would love to hear from you. |
