Shine Brightly

Shine Brightly

My Child, do not look to the right or the left to see what others are doing and how you should or shouldn't do things, but look to me as your standard.

I am doing in you a new thing and making you an image to be looked upon and admired. But if you keep comparing yourself to what is around you to see if you measure up or not, how can you shine brightly?

You cannot, because you will simply conform to the pattern of the world. But the light I have to give you, is brighter and will shine stronger. So then, do not be afraid to do things differently from others. Do not be afraid to be a stark contrast to what is around you. Only when you are different, will you stand out and only when you stand out, will you draw others to you.

So let go of your security and of what works and instead do what I say you should do. For I have not called you to blend in, but to be the salt of the earth.

Let not your security be in the pattern of this world, but in me. Then you will see success and you will look behind you and see others following the pattern that I have put into you. Amen.
