As we walk through life and try to live out God’s testament, we can see ourselves as a light. We are meant to radiate his truth and love to others around us. As we go through different chapters in our life and find ourselves, we are still supposed to shine our light to reveal God’s greatness to others.
In This Article:
Before we can shine, we must first recognize the source of our light; it’s not our talents or achievements, it’s Christ. We can stay connected to God through prayer and remaining steadfast in our faith, helping shine our light even brighter. We can shine our light through our actions, attitudes and our words.
Let's further explore the effect that our light has on the world.
Light is most noticeable in the darkness. Your light not only impacts others but also glorifies God, pointing people toward his greatness. Even in our struggles, our reliance on God can inspire others to seek him. By shining our light to the world and sharing God’s Word, we can be a role model to others. Our light is what makes us noticeable amongst the darkness; it helps to set us apart. It highlights how we need God.
Let’s keep shining our light brighter and brighter.
