I was sitting in a restaurant one day and noticed a TV on the wall with teaser ads running in quick succession, like the TVs that you see in Doctors offices and other public places. Each ad was only on the screen a few seconds and provided just enough information to tell you a little about some company or organization. I was watching one ad in particular for a fancy restaurant that I had never heard of and I noticed that it never gave its address or even what town it was in. Now it struck me as odd that it never told me what I really needed to know. If this restaurant was as good as it claimed to be I could never partake of it because I didn't know where it was or how to get there. I did notice a phone number to call and a website to visit for more information, but the advertisers thought that if I wanted to pursue the idea of going to the restaurant that I could look it up myself or call on another person to give me the information that I needed.
As Christians do we do the same thing? We go from letting our light shine and people seeing Christ in us to doing things that we shouldn't do. We should be a constant light for Jesus and if our light is always shining lost souls will be asking us for directions to the happiness that we have.
(Mat 5:14) Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

(Mat 5:15) Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

(Mat 5:16) Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

If a lost soul did ask you for directions to Christ, would you be able to give them the Words they needed for comfort or would you have to send them to a Minister of the Gospel. If you keep Gods Word in your heart you won't have to send them to somebody else, you can always tell them what Jesus has done in your life.
