This is my Lightbox:
It hangs on one of my walls in my pink room, over my desk, where lots of other inspiring pictures, calendars, and decorations hang. I call it my "spiritual corner", where I am always uplifted.
Each month, I slip letters into the Lightbox's slots to create words and phrases in which I can glance at constantly as I walk past my room throughout the day. Some phrases have included, "Be the Good", "Share Joy", "You are Enough", "Today is a Miracle", and more! As months pass, or when I deep clean my room, I switch and "re-create" the phrases. I have such fun doing it-----lighting up my Lightbox with fun words!
This last month, as I slipped the Lightbox off the wall and set it on the floor, I puzzled over what to spell. As I shuffled through the stack of letters and numbers, I collected various ones that I soon after combined into six simple words, "I do it all 4 Jesus." That felt right, so I slipped it on the wall with an eager smile. It described me and since then, I haven't changed it. There it is, still hanging on my wall as in the picture.
I do everything I can for Jesus. I live my life for Him, hoping that maybe I can save a few souls for Him-----uplift a few hearts for Him. My goal is to bring the good of the world to everyone around me FOR HIM. And right now, as I write this post, I feel that I am succeeding. Because I live for Him, I have joy. I am blessed. I have a glow about me. And ultimately, I am noticed, if not by others around me, by Him. That is so special.
Though it is sometimes tough, frustrating, or lonely, when I take the path with Him, my life is full of pure joy, no matter the circumstance, because I know I am on the right path, in the right place, and with the right people. So, right now, right here, I want you to choose to DO IT ALL for Jesus. There is one truth to it: YOU CAN! When you live for Him-----only Him-----you can receive the great blessings of it all!
Doing it all for Jesus requires stepping away from the world, from the wrong, and immersing yourself in the right and the good. Don't worry, as you do it, you'll feel the glow. You'll immerse yourself in the better and will see that you are not alone! You'll feel noticed by Jesus, Himself, as you follow Him. Remember, this is the purpose of my blog-----to help you do it all for Him-----so keep following along and we can grow TOGETHER.
We are doing this together, with so many other people, who live their lives just the same! And when we all come together at that great and marvelous day-----with all the people who lived their lives this way-----what a glorious feeling we'll get! It will be worth it! And it all would have started with a six-letter phrase on a Lightbox:
"I do it all for Jesus."
I love you!
