Lights among the Darkness

"So carry your candle. Run to the darkness. Seek out the lonely and light up their darkness. Carry your candle for all to see. Light up the world..." We are put on this world to be a light among the darkness. We must shine where we are placed. "Preach the Gospel always, and if necessary, use words." We are supposed to preach Jesus through our actions. Yes, we can use words where necessary, but we are not supposed to beat Jesus down people's throats. I have a few friends who have turned away from Jesus because of this. We are not supposed to be like "your wrong here and here and here" that is Jesus' job, not ours! We are supposed to be lights by our actions. Our words can help, but not if we beat others down. "The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people." <-- And why is that? Shouldn't everyone want to be our friends? Because we are supposed to be lights, so that darkness can't hide. Chase it away!
