“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden” Matthew 5:14 We ALL live on a stage that influences the lives of others- so why not decide to use our stage to inspire? Our walk of faith is designed to be supernaturally contagious and today, this very hour, we can choose how we will live to inspire. It is astounding to think how with every Spirit-filled action of faith we have the opportunity to light the flame of another. A Spirit-filled life is an inspiring life and together we can set the world ablaze!! Live to inspire… To inspire kindness when the world around us is unkind! To inspire generosity when others grasp stingily to what they possess! To inspire grace when the world condemns! To inspire freedom when bondage feels like the only option! To inspire love when someone is behaving unlovely! To inspire gratitude when everyone else is grumbling! To inspire courage when those around you are weighed down with discouragement! To inspire faith when doubt and fear seize progress! To inspire honor when dishonor is dished out! To inspire value where others have devalued! To inspire dreams when others have mocked and diminished! To inspire dignity when someone has been robbed of their self-respect! To inspire perseverance when the odds seem insurmountable! To inspire forgiveness when someone has done the unforgivable! To inspire compassion when others would pass by without a second thought! To inspire mercy among the merciless! To inspire creativity in the ordinary and mundane! To inspire godliness in an ungodly environment! To inspire hope when confidence has dwindled to a the size of a pea! To inspire joyfulness in the midst of misery! To inspire… “Let your light so shine before men, that they will see you good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
