Shine

Woke up with this "story" in my mind this morning,
though written years ago.

Thought someone other than myself would appreciate it today.

Shine

Philippians 2:15 (NIV)

Shine in the midst of your troubles
proclaiming that God is able.
Others will see your example
for when life seems to be impossible
they need a light that shines forth
showing them troubles have worth,
giving hope in their heartache,
bringing God's peace to their hearts.

Refrain:
Always be loving, patient, and kind
for God's purpose for you is to shine.
Ambassadors in the family of faith
always illuminating God's truth.
God's purpose for you from your birth
is to shine like stars in the universe,
to be a shining light in the darkness
so be a light and shine, shine forth.

Shine in your words, deeds, and actions
for others you'll be attracting
as you shine bright with God's light
always proclaiming what's right,
offering encouragement
to those you have met
with loving understanding and
often giving a helping hand.

Others will see your passion
when as a star you do shine
so shine bright as the stars
today right where you are.
God's purpose for you from your birth
is to shine like stars in the universe
to be shining light in the darkness
so be a light and shine, shine forth.
