Shine
“Ye are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14).
“Ye shine as lights in the world” (Philippians 2:15).
I recently heard of a young Christian lady who went to work in an office with 200 other women. She let them know that she was a believer, but soon became very discouraged because of all the filthy talk and godlessness surrounding her every day. She wanted to quit, and asked a Christian friend, “What shall I do?”
The friend told her, “God looked down in this city and He found you, one of the few believing young persons in it, and thought, ‘I’ll put her as a light for Me in that large office. I hope she won’t let me down where I have done her the honor of choosing her to represent Christ in that place.’”
She replied, “I never thought of it like that,” and within two months she came and told her friend that two girls in that office had trusted Christ as their Saviour.
If you are the only saved person in your class or workplace, don’t be discouraged or give up in despair. Perhaps God chose you, just like He did the young lady, because He has a work for you to do.
