The Shining Ones

Sometimes I place you in a certain environment because something is going to occur in the future where I’m going to need you. You are the one who will do the right thing, take the step of courage and implement my will in that situation. I need you to be ready and willing at that time to say, okay, Lord, for such a time as this you have put me in this place!

Always remember that I have commissioned you to represent me just as I commissioned Jesus to represent me. He dedicated himself to you as a holy sacrifice so that you would live fully dedicated to God and be made holy by my truth. The same glory that I gave to him I have given to you, so you would be joined together as one and that you might experience the same unity that we share. When you truly love one another, others will see the same passionate love that I have for my Son.*

Jesus, himself, took on the role of servant and portrayed true humbleness by washing his disciples’ feet. It was an example for you, my children, so you’d remember that you are called to minister to one another. My Son was perfect; he never sinned and he never let me down and was faithful to death for your sake. He suffered persecution, was the object of abuse and criticism and was stricken and afflicted. He took on the role of a man of sorrows who was acquainted with grief, in order that you would be the bright ones, the shining ones and that you could live with us forever in eternity.

Do you see it now? Beloved, you are of such great value that he did this all for you and for every human being that was ever conceived! Likewise, value one another and do the same by laying down your own comfort and desires when the opportunity arises. It’s one way that you can light a candle in the darkness.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deed and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matt.5:16) NIV
