Ephesians 5:8-10

"For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord."
Ephesians 5:8-10


I like this scripture... we are all in darkness sometimes... but when we can see the light, we have a chance to get closer to it... and become more like it... to be light ourselves, and to bring that light to other people.  We should remember that we are children of light... that we have the ability to shine in people's lives and hearts and make a difference.  Goodness, righteousness and truth are all part of that light that we are.  And the proving what is acceptable unto the Lord is good in many ways, but the way that I like it today is... what is good and right is not always what the "world" thinks ... even what "Christians" think... sometimes even what some other "Mormons" think.  Instead of railing about what is wrong with the world, or getting angry at false doctrine or society's views leaking into Sunday School... we need to be that light, and set an example.  Stand up for what is right, and shine so brightly that people see the proof of the Spirit shining out.  That means of course, that we need to be consistent in hanging on to the light in our lives... which is a challenge sometimes. :)  But, hey... we're cool, we can do it. :)
