Pimples and God

I remember having prayed quite a few times for a friend, whose pimply face was his occasional source of worry. He tried hard to rid himself of mild acne by applying soap infused with papaya ingredients. But the regular washing and the nightly application of Eskinol were not enough to eliminate the zits.

Prayer was my strong suggestion. What is a mere pimple to God? So without wavering we both humbled ourselves before the throne of the Almighty, the Maker of body and skin. I prayed in the Name of Jesus for the skin to be clear. After the prayer we both trusted God to touch my friend's face for cleansing.

My friend until now has a few pimples. But he was partly rid of something--- vanity! Glory to God!

Light

Our office restroom, unisex and not very clean, is in need of a new light. Dim and feeble, the noodle-looking bulb needs to be replaced with a new one. We were instructed not to switch off the light because this would cause the bulb to go dead for some time. Its light would only return after much manipulation of the switch. Imagine us performing the urination and defecation in total blackness. How fearfully black and private.

I as a Christian, a believer in the Lord Jesus, have to be always ON for Him who is the true Light. If I were to switch off the light of my faith, I render myself prone to be OFF and even DEAD for some time. How dark that would be of me.
