Shine Bright For Jesus Devotion Series Intro
“Shine bright for Jesus!”
This is my all time favorite mom quote! I find myself including this in almost every conversation I have with my kids. I love shining bright for Jesus, and love reminding my kids to shine bright for Him as well. At times it can be a challenge. And, God understands this! That’s why He’s available 24/7. He wants us to know this with all our heart and live it out daily. It sure does take a conscience effort, though, to keep God at the center of our everything. Are you all about that sparkle?! I am and I’m here to encourage you to be as well. Shining bright for Him can make all the difference inward and outward.
I love how every time I open my Bible a new verse speaks to me and has me pondering how I can be more like Him as the days wear on. And, the Bible is filled with so many great verses reminding us how to shine bright for Jesus. I’m on a mission not only to fill my Bible journal with them all but to spread them around like little rays of sunshine, so this is a devotion series that will be continually growing, and there’s no set order for reading them in. Make sure to check back often and join me as I seek out all the little bursts of sunshine the Bible is flooded with to help us all keep shining as we go.

Psalms 89:14-16
“Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne. Unfailing love and truth walk before You as attendants. Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of Your presence, Lord. They rejoice all day long in Your wonderful reputation. They exult in your righteousness.” Psalms 89:14-16 (NLT)

These three verses make me beam with abundant joy! They tell us amazing and wonderful things about our Lord and Savior. He is righteous! He is just! He is full of unfailing love and truth! He is our source of joy! Friends, Jesus is the one who brightens our path! What a blessing to call Him Father; what an honor it is to worship The King!
When we come into His presence He is our source of light. His radiance shines on and around us, and in turn it allows us to shine bright for Jesus! When we take the time to bask in His glory, we learn so much about His character. It’s in these lessons that we learn how to live more and more like Him each day, because He’s our model!! When we begin to imitate Jesus’ traits we sparkle and when we continue living a life full of His traits our sparkle radiates around us! It’s a shine bright phenomenon!!
“But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So all of us who have had the veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord – who is the Spirit – makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His glorious image.”
2 Corinthians 3:16-18 (NLT)
When we draw near to the Lord, and walk in His light, we get to see and reflect His glory. How exciting is this!?! When we give God the time He deserves the Holy Spirit makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His glorious image. AND…this my friends, is how we shine bright for Jesus!!
