Being the Light of Christ in Our Broken World

Being the light of Christ in a dark world can be difficult to do. Yet it is the thing that we are called to do as Christians. Jesus showed us how to do that throughout the Bible. Even in his day, he did not walk in the world among saints. That would have been easy!

Instead, Jesus walked with and hung around Pharisees, hypocrites, and tax collectors all the time. His goal was to be a light in the world of darkness. People hated Jesus and some even despised Him. Yet, He kept going and became increasingly steadfast in his goals. Jesus believed that He had to heal these people and make them whole again. Jesus felt that He needed to change these cold hearts and show them another better way of living.

We are all called to heal and love in our families and communities. We must stretch ourselves beyond helping good living people because they do not need us as much as the poor hypocrites, Pharisees, and Sadducees do. Knowing how to melt their hearts of ice can be hard. Each person will be different. However, if we love them wholeheartedly, most cold and closed people will respond. To act with love in a cold, belligerent world takes a lot of courage. It is hard to know how to deal with people who do not deserve our love. In this e-book, I will show you how to love the unlovable by keeping your eyes fixed on the Lord so that you can be the light to Christ in this cold, mean world.

Let's face it; we are surrounded by difficult people a lot of the time. All kinds of people make up the world and our families. Some of these werewolves can be part of our family too. Or, they may be people we live with in close proximity. How can we keep motivated to love such people, regardless of how cold-hearted they are? I know first-hand how hard it can be and how empty and hopeless you can feel. It seemed sometimes like my heart was closing and my faith was drying up. This is because we all need spiritual replenishment. Thus, it can be hard when you continuously give love and never receive it. One way to overcome such a feeling is by removing yourself from the person or situation and praying so that you can be filled with his holy spirit.
