Light Casting Shadows?

The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is sound, your entire body will be full of light. But if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the very light in you [your conscience] is darkened, how dense is that darkness!  Matthew 6:22-23 Amplified 

Eyes glimmer, glow or sparkle…or not. Without light there is no shadow. If a person is unhappy, discontented with their life, or depressed, then their eyes are dull. No light shining from them. Casting no shadow. Just darkness engulfing the very breath and life out of a person and those around them. I’ve been there. Sad. No light from my eyes. And then there are other days, other weeks, months…years when joy has filled my heart and light shines brightly from my eyes. Sparkling eyes don’t cast dark shadows…but dancing lights that chase away darkness. Or lights so bright that the shadows are like that in the middle of the day when the sun is high in the sky. Short shadows. What kind of shadow do you cast? 

RSVP: Jesus is asking you today to look into your own eyes and evaluate the light shining from them. What do you see…and how will you respond to Him today?  

Prayer ~ Jesus, You are the Light of the world; anyone, including me, who follows You will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life. (John 8:12). Let Your light shine through me.
