I want to walk in Your Sonshine!

I want to walk in your sunshine!

I don’t mind winter; in fact, I like the freshness of new-fallen snow, the crisp clean smelling air, the clear starry nights and the moonlight as it shines through the white-crested woods. God made winter beautiful!

But the sun doesn’t shine as much in the winter. And I, like many, miss the warmth and brightness of the sun. When the winter days are sunny, I drop everything else and head outside for the day. I soak up as much of the winter sun as I possibly can because you never know when the winter clouds will move in and cover up the sun. You must take advantage of it and seize the day!

I prayed for sunshine the other day. I walk every day, sun or no sun, but oh its SO MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE walking in sunshine! So I prayed, “God, I want to walk in your sunshine today!”. The sun came out and lit up the gloomy gray atmosphere! I thought ‘I must remember to pray for sunshine more often!’.

Then I heard Our Father say: “Walk in My SON SHINE.”

Oh, how easy it is to allow the Light of Christ in us to be dimmed or even darkened by the cares of this world!

The enemy often uses the cares of this world occurring in our own lives and what we read, see, hear, and feel around us to attack our faith, hope, and trust IN GOD,

He is like one of those dimmer switches, designed to decrease light a little at a time. Every time he speaks a lie and we take it in, our Light grows dimmer, and our faith falters because we are listening to his LIES rather than holding onto Gods Truths and HIS PROMISES.

It is satans strategy to completely shut off the Light of Christ in us where we feel nothing but hopelessness, despair, helplessness, and even fear. He wants our faith to be nullified. GOD wants our faith to INCREASE to the point where the only thing that moves us IS HIM.

So, when God said that to me, I realized I had been allowing the Light of Jesus in me to be dimmed by circumstances in my life and this carnal fallen world.

In John 1, John proclaims he was to “bear witness of that Light”, the True Light that lights up the world. JESUS!

The Son Shines through us so that we can “bear witness” of Him.

 As we speak of Jesus, His Light in us grows brighter and stronger, and begins to radiate from us, removing darkness by the replacement if His Light. The more we speak to Him and of Him the bolder and stronger His Light in us becomes. Soon, darkness FLEES at our presence!

Many walk in darkness and long to see light and feel the Son Shine upon them. When you bear witness of Jesus, when you tell others of Him; the darkness in their life begins to fade as the Truth and Light of Christ exposes it. Soon, they become His Son Shine, shining brightly through the darkness of evil.

The only way His Light is snuffed out is by allowing darkness; (Romans 13:12) the only way darkness is annihilated is by HIS LIGHT. (John 8:12)

So, Ive added to that prayer:
“GOD, I want to walk in your SON SHINE” 

Arise! Shine! for JESUS, thy Light HAS COME, and the Glory of The Lord is risen upon thee! (Isaiah 60:1)
