Shine His Light

Learn to listen to Me even while you are listening to other people. As they open their souls to your scrutiny, you are on holy ground. You need the help of My Spirit to respond appropriately. Ask Him to think through you, live through you, love through you. My own Being is alive within you in the Person of the Holy Spirit. If you respond to others’ needs through your unaided thought processes, you offer them dry crumbs. When the Spirit empowers your listening and speaking, My streams of living water flow through you to other people. Be a channel of My Love, Joy, and Peace by listening to Me as you listen to others.
“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”- EXODUS 3:5 
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own.- 1 CORINTHIANS 6:19 
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.- JOHN 7:38–39

Have you ever offered a friend advice even when you really did not know what you were talking about? Maybe you have never been in that type of situation or your mind was already clouded by something else. Maybe you did not listen to them in the first place and you were just rambling off something someone else told you.

God wants us to stop responding to the needs of those around us with our unaided responses. We know nothing compared to the Father. When someone else has a problem, we should approach God the same way we would seek Him ourselves.

We are followers of our God. When we are true Christians we shall let the light of God shine through us and upon others. God wants us to ask Him for answers and then let those words come through our own mouths for others to receive. Focus on letting God's Holy word come through you mind and mouth, seek Him for all problems, even those which are not your own.
