The Light<br />

IS LIFE GOOD FOR YOU AND HOW DO YOU MEASURE<br />

HOW GOOD?<br />

The people around you – your family, friends, maybe work colleagues, the neighbours;<br />

all these people and our interaction with them can affect your mood. We accept that<br />

some days are better than others, certainly when the sun is out for some this brightens<br />

them up.<br />

However, we need to look within ourselves at how we feel inside – this part of ourselves isn’t always apparent to others, such<br />

as the company we mentioned. So, what satisfies you as an individual when you look in the mirror.<br />

Our appearance to others – image, look can dominate our thoughts. This is where we can seek to improve/ change the way we<br />

look – treating ourselves with clothing, gadgets, a new car; but are we happy with a satisfied feeling, and is there are beneficial<br />

change within us? Others may not see it, but it is important to us. What about reaching out for a joyful feeling, a rewarding<br />

feeling – this is the best of me!<br />

Be shaped not by what you have, but how you live. We know when we feel the greatest rewards – supporting each other, maybe<br />

those who are finding life difficult. “Give or receive” – we know that the giving gives back. We are seeking an inner joy, for that’s<br />

the person we live with all day long, all our lives. When we reflect on people we know around us that appear to have it all, I<br />

really hope they do - only they would know: to work diligently all your working life and provide for your self and family is a good<br />

thing.<br />

A Christian evangelist said, “Live simply so others can simply live”. We need to acknowledge that we are part of a worldwide<br />

community, where some of us have grown up in vastly different circumstances. Your life may acknowledge this and reflect itself<br />

in some of the ways we live day to day – what we buy, what we give in time to each other as well as money. The former is, quite<br />

often, the most valuable gift.<br />

How does life change through Jesus – we shine through living as he did in this world. He served, he gave a gift of new life to us<br />

all through His death and resurrection.<br />
