"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Jesus does not say, "Try to become light." He says you are light. The question is not whether you shine but where.
Your workplace, your family and your neighbourhood are your candlestick. Simple goodness, honesty and kindness point people beyond you to your Father.
Prayer
Lord, You have made me light. Help me not to hide. Let my life shine in a way that points others to You. Amen.
