Do not be discouraged or frustrated when your present circumstances do not allow you to shine. Remember that you are filled with my light. Keep on obediently seeking me, as you have been doing. Just as Gideon commanded his army to cover their lights with jars until the time for battle came. so you are being prepared for the appropriate time. The moment will come when the light I have given you to carry will burst forth, when I will create opportunities for you to be an ambassador for my kingdom, a time when your purpose will be clear and you will shine in the darkness. Be patient, continue to focus on me. Use this time of preparation to put all your effort into building the light within, to hosting my Holy Spirit and soaking in my presence.
Luke 11:36
If you are filled with light, with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant, as though a floodlight were filling you with light.
