Shining Bright For Jesus
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
God’s Love Shines Through You
As Christians we live to worship God and therefore the way we care is an act of worship in our workplace. We know what an immense privilege it is to care for someone. It’s a joy, a calling, and a responsibility that we need the Lord’s wisdom and guidance for in every moment. We desire to see the love of Jesus transform the lives of those in our care and those we work with. How can we do this?
By being prayerful and deeply dependent upon the Holy Spirit. He is already working through us and has the power to do what we cannot. He can open eyes, soften hearts, and give us the wisdom and discernment in every circumstance. It is his power to save. We have the amazing privilege to partner in the work that God is already doing in his world.
By listening well and living well for Jesus. As we take an interest in the lives of others, they will see something of the compassion and kindness of Jesus in us. Taking time to read God’s word, pray and listen to him in our own lives will naturally overflow out into our daily life.
By equipping ourselves to be ready to give an answer for the hope we have. There are many opportunities to be resourced for evangelistic outreach and discipleship. Let’s make the most of it! We can prepare ourselves ahead of time by giving thought to key issues and topics which may help us in our conversations with those in our workplace. Have a look below at some wonderful organisations and resources that can help equip you.
We may be the only Bible that someone reads. Let us be wholly reliant upon our gracious and compassionate God, who can do immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
