Shining your Light.

I have heard it said " One bad apple can spoil a bunch."
Yes, that can be true.... In many cases, that can indeed be true.
However, I don't think that is always the case.
Even when everyone around you is "bad" You can still shine your light, the light Jesus puts in each of us.
I was reminded of this, while I was planting Mums last week,:

The entire plant was dead, brown and shriveled up. Nothing beautiful about it at all.
Some might say that one dead flower " spoiled " the rest of them. Yet look at this beautiful red flower, shining its light among all the ugliness.

I think of Noah. The bible says " Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence." Gen. 6:11 

It also says 

" Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God." Gen. 6:9 

Noah shined his light among all the darkness. Think of how dark the world is, are you shining your light?
 This was quick, but I hope it was encouraging.
"In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." Matthew 5:16
