Jesus said, “You are the light of the world”(Mt 5:14).
That is one great privilege.
That is one great responsibility.
So by all means, shine your light today.
Don’t let life’s pressing circumstances keep it hidden anymore.
Shine your light.
When times get dark in this world, people need your light.
Light penetrates darkness.
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (Jn 1:5).
Shine your light and let nothing stop you.
It’s what you are here to do.
“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father who is in heaven” (Mt 5:16).
Shine your light and then watch what happens.
Strangers are drawn to it.
Friends are emboldened by it.
Enemies can’t stand up to it.
Shine your light today, folks.
It takes courage to do it in such uncertain times.
But you’re a natural.
Shine your light with the courage that God gives.
Shine it with the kindness and love other souls need to see.
You’ll be glad you did.
I hope this encourages you today.
