Keep Shining

A snake began to chase a firefly that only lived to shine. The firefly stopped and said to the snake:
“Can I ask you three questions?”
The snake said, “Yes.”

• Do I belong to your food chain ?
  The snake said, “No.”
• Did I do anything to you?
  The snake said, “No.”
• Then why you wanna devour me?
  “The snake replied, “Cause I can’t stand to see you shine.”

My beautiful Tewahedo Orthodox sister, the bitter truth is some people can’t stand to see you shine, and will try to destroy your light. It’s disheartening to realize that in a world where we should uplift one another, there are those who can’t bear to see you shine. Despite their treachery, remember to keep following our Lord and Savior and His ways, never wavering and never letting the negativity of others to dim your glow!

Don’t ever allow those people to change you. You are a Tewahedo Orthodox girl, you were born to shine. To stand out. To be a light for those in the dark. Keep shining bright my beautiful sister, this world needs your light!

 “You are the light of the world. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:14,16).

May the intercession, protection, and blessing of our Blessed Mother be with us always.
And may God have Mercy on us and Save us 🙏
