Made to Shine: 90 Devotions to Enjoy and Reflect God's Light Kindle Edition

4.8 out of 5 stars 150 ratings

Have you lost your shine?

Are you living day-to-day, going about your routine and checking off your list, yet feeling tired, dull, and ordinary?

Well, you were made to shine!

Through April Rodgers art of storytelling you'll be reminded that God's light is within you. No matter what you're doing or where you're at, He can shine through you. Made to Shine is a daily devotional based on Jesus' instructions in Matthew 5:16 to reflect the light of Jesus in all that we do. These 90 short devotions will restore the light of purpose to your life, energize you with passion, fill your heart with joy and inspire hope. Each day you will spend time with God with a brief devotional thought, a key scripture from the Bible, and a simple guided prayer focusing on how much God truly loves you, how much He delights in you, and how eager He is to refresh you with His light so you can radiate His love to those around you.

You'll be empowered as women of faith to creatively carry His light wherever you go. Whether it be in the workplace, the classroom, the car pickup line, the gym, the restaurant, or in your home, you are called to let your light shine in all of these places so that others are attracted to the only thing that matters: a relationship with the one true God. Now is the time to let it shine!

Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 NIV

A Note From Author April Rodgers

You were made to shine!

Jesus said to live so that when others see your light and the good works that you do, they will praise your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16). That’s a really big deal If we live out our calling to SHINE, then the God of all creation gets the praise that He is due. Once we realize our purpose in this life, then we can live with intentionality in our everyday lives, allowing everything that we do to reflect the light that was put inside of us by Jesus Himself.

Within every geographical location as well as every generation there exist divine opportunities to point others to God Just as the beautiful and young Queen Esther was told by her wise uncle when she was faced with a life-or- death situation,

Who knows, perhaps you have come to your royal position for such a time as this (Esther 4:14 CSB).

Esther did not run from the situation but instead rose to the challenge and was able to shine.

Sample devotional excerpt

Jesus devotional, god's promises, new testament, scripture, bible verse, god's word, holy bible

Jesus Is the Light

Her daughter sat at the kitchen counter while she was cooking dinner and exclaimed, “Mom, did you know that the sun and moon were created on the fourth day?”

She made a huffing noise and said, “No, honey Light was created on the first day Look it up”

“I did, Mom, and it says that light was created on the first day but the sun and moon didn’t show up until later Isn’t that cool?”

She put her spoon down and risked burning dinner to see if what her daughter was saying was true She quickly flipped to Genesis 1 and, lo and behold, it was true!

The creation of the seas, trees, vegetation, etc , occurred before the sun or moon showed up! How could that be? God explains why in the Gospel of John:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made (John 1:1–3 NIV).

Jesus is the light and Jesus was there at creation. There is no life for mankind without the light! There is no light without the life of Jesus! The sheer fact that we have life running through our bodies testifies that light has entered the world.

When we begin to view Jesus as our Creator and our life-sustainer, it becomes a game changer for us. Our relationship with Him is not just optional, it is necessary as our source of life. It’s then that we understand that the light inside us comes from our salvation in Jesus Christ Without Him, there is no light to shine.

Friend, have you allowed His light to come into your life? You were created with a purpose, and Jesus would love nothing more than for you to give your life to Him Today is a great day to start shining!

Prayer:

Jesus, thank You for Your life-giving Light. Just like the moon reflects the sun, we want to reflect Your light.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

They might be working women striving for excellence with

intense deadlines, college students standing firm in their

faith on a secular campus, or stay-at-home moms, sleepdeprived

and living off of tea and toast. Each situation

offers numerous opportunities to take Christ's light, not

just into their going-to-work/school/church life, but into

their everyday, ordinary, sleeping-and-eating, groceryshopping,

coffee drinking life . . . and let it shine.

    This is a great devotional that speaks to all women, no matter what place in life they’re in! Inlile that it’s messages are short and sweet and to the point. Every devotional begins with a little story/life situation but ends with sharing scripture and scriptural truth. It’s evident that this author has a heart for Jesus and she encourages the reader many times throughout the devo to “let our lights shine for him.” This would be a great gift for a friend, mom, aunt, etc!

    In the current state of the world, it is easy to feel dulled by our surroundings and what is going on. What a wonderful devotional to remind us how to allow God's light to pour through us and rejuvenate us. I personally will be using this book to lead a small women's bible study group in the near future!
