"Burn bright." It's a tall order to fill. Most all people want to hide in their own little worlds and not bother with anything around us. We get pulled into the things of this world and leave behind the faith that is always there for us. We leave behind who we really are and put on the false identities of this world. Some of which are fear, anger, distrust, sometimes a face of perfectness or courage. By putting on these faces, we get pulled into the darkness of a world that wants to drown us. It wants to snuff out any light that even dares to shine. But the thing is, if we continue to shine, we pull through and it affects all other people around us. We show them the light of Jesus through us by not putting on the faces of this world. It's not easy. It seems like we start out being true to ourselves and Jesus, then something happens to pull us away. And it's not at all easy to resist. That's why I like this song by Natalie Grant. It reminds me to burn bright and that i continue to burn bright even in the darkness of this world. Even when i have lived in that darkness for years upon years. It's still possible to come out of the darkness and into the light. To show this world who we really are and who Jesus is.
