I was speaking with someone today and we were discussing the concept of keeping your knowledge of God and his love to yourself. The other person likened it to "voodoo" beliefs of putting an egg under your pillow to protect yourself. Do we often do that? Do we use our knowledge of God and the salvation that his son's death and resurrection gives as a safety net or a "lucky charm" yet keep it to ourself?
Think about the concept of putting an egg under your pillow.
~First of all, I would think that would be uncomfortable. You would not be able to lay your head down in a comfortable position for fear of breaking the egg.
~Second, What if the egg were to break? Would you still have your salvation? Would the presence of God still exist in your life?
~Third, Hiding the presence of God in our lives would really rob us of the joy that comes when we share Him with others.
Really, do we want to be so selfish that we keep God away from others? Aren't we commanded to and make disciples? I for one do NOT want to hide an egg under my pillow or my light under a bushel or do any other hiding for that matter...
Well, that is what I have spent today thinking about. I know it has been a long time between posts and when I do post it is about eggs. Well, what you get is what you get. Thanks for reading and until next time...let your light shine...
