Shine On

One of the most difficult things to go through in this earthly life is a misunderstanding with someone you love. Whether it be a spouse, a child, a sibling, a parent or a friendship…relationships are not always easy.


Sometimes these problems get so difficult for one party or the other that they decide to “throw up their hands” and give up. When this happens, heartaches will begin to show up in many ways. The pain of being hurt can cause stress and other health conditions that can lead to a dark cloud over your life.


So how do you fight for those you love, even when it seems as if they don’t understand or love you back?


As my mom and dad used to say, “keep your own nose clean!” It’s always a “two-way” street in relationships. Don’t always think the other person is the only one that “needs the Kleenex.”


Be a person of light in an otherwise dark place. Let your life shine with the love of Jesus. Believe Him for answers for all relationships and health. If you fail in the area of “believing” then you will fail. If you start applying what the Bible says in the area of “believing” then…you got it…you win.


Also, if you can’t be around this loved one, for whatever reason, pray that the Lord will place someone in their life that will speak Godly wisdom into them. Continue to love them from afar and shine where you are.


2 Corinthians 4:6 NLT

[6] For God, who said, "Let there be light in the darkness," has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. #paulaandthebible #helpforyourdailywalk
