The Lamp of the Body

 Luke 11:33-36

“No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.  Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness. See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you.”

 We as human beings need to remember that our eyes are the first thing to notice things. You may think our hearts are first, but really our eyes are. When we see negative, it triggers negative thoughts and our thoughts and actions become dark. When we think positive our thoughts and actions become positive. Us a christian sometimes lack the fact that we need to be the light for the people who are in this dark world. We need to be more open with the light that we live in, even if we are afraid of what people may think. Romans 8:31 "What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"
