Something I've been learning lately is the importance of living my faith among *gasp* other Christians. It seems at times like it's easy to have different life standards than those around us who aren't believers, because we can use our relationship with Jesus as an explanation for how we live. With other Christians, though it's different. There are those who agree with us. They're not the ones who challenge us. It's the Christians who think that certain things that we disagree with are acceptable. It's difficult sometimes to be bold in our convictions when another Christian does not share them and may even think they're silly. You know those verses about being a light in the darkness? Well, this is where being a "firefly" comes in.
You can't really see fireflies in the daytime, you know.
And even though they're gorgeous in the dark...
We need fireflies to shine brightly in the purple dusk, too.
