License plates are a very important part of every car. In fact, in most places a car must have a license plate to be on the road. It is interesting to notice the colors and designs on license plates from different parts of the country. They often try to pass on a message about that area.
Have you ever watched for license plate messages? I often see a small red car with the license plate RED DOT. Recently, I saw a convertible with the message BREEZE! Others I have spotted have been THE GEM, MY HUNY and DLITE. These people must want others to know that they really like their cars.
What would your license plate say if you could wear one—HAPPY? MEAN? KIND? SAD? Many times the way we are acting passes on a message just like a license plate would. Our actions often are easy to read and sometimes, sad to say, the message is not a good one. For Christians, a good license plate to wear would be one that says I’M SAVED. But it would be even better if our actions showed that we belonged to the Lord Jesus. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:1616Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16)).
