Halloween! Candy and costumes and pumpkins and parties and oh so much more! While I don’t really celebrate Halloween, I still love carved pumpkins! The cute little Jack-O-Lanterns on people’s front steps is by far my favorite thing! I love seeing how creative people can get! One of my friends made hers into a croc! Kinda crazy, but so fun! And you know, we are all kind of like those carved pumpkins. In a weird sort of way, we share a lot with those little (or big) squashes!
When you go to a pumpkin patch, you pick out a pumpkin, take it home, and wash it off. Then you carve out the top and begin removing the insides so you can carve it and put a light in! Jesus does the same with you! He removes you from the world and washes the sin off of you! He then opens the door to your heart and removes all the sin and shame that are sitting there. Then, he carves a huge smile onto your face as he fills you with his relentless joy! And the light, the most important part! It makes it possible for people to see your lovely pumpkin creation no matter what time it is! And Jesus gives us that, too! Because he puts his fire inside of us, no matter our circumstances, we let our light shine out into the world! We share love and hope and truth with everyone who sees us! So, like that Jack-O-Lantern, we can bring light into other people’s lives too!
So you had probably never thought of yourself as a pumpkin before, huh? But it really does make sense! No matter what you do, let your light shine before men! Let your light be a beacon, bringing people into the love of Christ! Have a safe Halloween and remember to let your light shine!
