“Ye are the light of the world.” (Matthew 5:14)
When Christ comes into your life, darkness no longer has the final word. His light begins to shine through you, not because of who you are, but because of Who lives in you.
God did not give you His light so that you could hide it. He gave it to you so that someone walking through darkness might find their way.
Your kindness can show them Christ’s love.
Your forgiveness can show them His mercy.
Your faith can give them courage.
Your integrity can show them His truth.
Your peace can reveal His presence.
Your testimony can give hope to someone who has almost given up.
You may think your light is small, but even a small light can be seen in great darkness.
Do not allow fear to cover your light.
Do not allow rejection to extinguish your light.
Do not allow disappointment to dim your light.
Do not allow the darkness around you to become darkness within you.
You are the light.
You are called to shine.
You are called to be a witness.
You are called to glorify God.
So stay close to Jesus.
Walk in His Word.
Listen to the Holy Spirit.
Keep your heart clean.
Love when it is difficult.
Forgive when you have been hurt.
Speak truth with grace.
Do good without seeking recognition.
And let your life become a living testimony:
“There is something different about this person.”
That difference is Christ.
