ShineSample

Let's admit that sharing is sometimes tricky. Who never hid something to not have to share? Or did not grumble when someone grabbed food from your plate? Our tendency is always to want what is ours to be exclusively for us. After all, it's ours. We are selfish by nature, we always want to be on top. The important thing is to have our lives figured out, and let others figure their lives out by themselves.

God knows how bad we are and how much we like to look only at our own spectrum. He knows us to such an extent that he teaches us urgently to look at our neighbor. Jesus was the only man who did not know selfishness. He helped others, shared his wisdom, his time, his mercy. He did not hesitate to give his own life for us. There is no greater love.

Jesus teaches us that when we receive this love and know the truth, it is selfish to hide salvation for ourselves alone. Have you ever thought where your friends will spend eternity? Or that your co-workers could live much happier?

You may be the opportunity for some people to change their lives. One day someone told Jesus about you, now it's your turn. He calls us to spread his love, to speak of salvation, to point to grace and to proclaim the good news. Jesus showed us how to do it, and now it is with us.

Never stop talking about his love, may it be with words or without it. Be an example, talk about Jesus, do not save it just for yourself. Because when we have Jesus, we can not hide the light that shines. Our lives, our attitudes and our concepts become different.

Shine! Strike up those who are close, tell of this love that has changed your story and can change the lives of many. Be the light of the world, the salt of the earth, a fisher of men, a revolutionary, a friend. Do your best, and remember that your life does not boil down to you. Go and shine! You are light!
