Shine

I shared this verse on my facebook page today.

It reminded me of a poem I had written

based on Philippians 2:15:

Shine like stars in the universe.

(Written as a potential song.)

May your light shine forth brightly.

Shine in the midst of your troubles

proclaiming that God is able.

Others will see you as an 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.

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 a shining light in the darkness

so be a light and shine, shine forth.

Chorus:

Always be loving, patient and kind

for God's plan 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 like stars in the universe...

Philippians 2:15
