Lights in the sky

While watching the movie Tangled I was thinking about a scene I saw in the movie. To me it had God written all over it. The scene shows Rapunzel in a boat with Flynn Rider and she finally gets to see the lanterns. Its shows all the people of the kingdom releasing their lanterns into the air and they light up the night sky. Rapunzel at this point doesn't even know that she is the lost princess and that all of this is done on behalf of her. Her parents loved her so much that they consistently every year without fail release those 'lights' into the sky in the hope that some day they would be reunited with her.

I believe that this is representatives of what God does in this world today. He send out His light so that people can see and come to Him. But, sadly many people want to remain in darkness. Christ said that we are "the light of the world" and that we should shine our lights "so that men may see our good works and glorify" our Father is Heaven. Notice He didn't say "shine so that men can look at you and say how good you are", but He expressed that the intended purpose for shining your light is to draw men to God.

So as God sends you out into the world today, be a light and shine brightly. You never know who may notice.
