No matter how strong
of a light you may have, if you don’t turn it on it won’t shed any light. A
light source is dark until it is turned on. No one benefits from a light that
is not lit. A dimmed light may be useful, but it has very little real impact on
the world around it. The stronger the light, the more useful and valuable the
light will be. If the light does not shine, no one will be able to see where
they are going. A light that shines is easily seen by those in the darkness.
We are the light of
the world. If we are not good sources of light, the world will continue to
stumble around in darkness. If we don’t take care of ourselves, we can ruin our
effectiveness as light sources. The world depends on us to show them the way
out of their darkness. Are you a good source of light? Are you letting your
light shine in the world? One of the ways we can do it is through the good that
we do in life. Our actions often speak louder than our words. We show the world
what difference Christ makes in human life by the things we do. We live out
love and godliness in all things. There is no separation between what we say
and what we do at work, home, play, or church.
Let your light shine
for the glory of Christ our Lord. In
order to do that, we must keep close to Christ, who is the source of our
light. We must stay in constant touch
with Him through the Word of God, in our prayer closet, and in the church
fellowship. We must never neglect our
salvation or take it for granted. If we
wander away from Christ, our light will dim or even go out.
Those in the darkness
have no excuse if they choose to remain in the darkness instead of following
the light shining to help bring them out.
Thank you for this beautiful message about shining God's light. Following Christmastime, when the lights are going off, this is a beautiful reminder that we are to be His light every day of the year!
